Welcome!
Hi, I’m Dr. Heath. Take a look around- there’s plenty to see!
Ideas on education for a modern world…
Some of My Educational Philosophy Points:
Learning happens when tasks are appropriately complex and repeated.
Students need to see how details fit into the big picture and their lives.
Teachers should be thoughtful and intentional about what students need to know and what students need to know about.

The Introverted Teacher
A quieter path to powerful teaching.
Introverted educators bring a rare strength to the classroom: depth of attention, intentionality, and the steady presence students trust. This space is designed to help you turn those strengths into a sustainable, flourishing practice.
Teaching does not require being the loudest voice in the room. It requires clarity, care, and the deliberate use of your cognitive and emotional energy, qualities introverted teachers possess in abundance. Using research-backed practices from cognitive psychology, neuroplasticity, and ZPD-based instructional design, you can build a classroom that honors your temperament while elevating student learning.

My educational philosophy rests on a simple, enduring conviction: students learn best when instruction is both intellectually rigorous and deeply humane. Effective teaching is neither performance nor compliance, it is the careful engineering of environments where young people can think, struggle productively, revise, and ultimately flourish.
