Welcome to the LDHS WIKI of Steff Chortanoff.

My goal is for us to share, communicate, and improve our teaching and the learning of our students.
 * __Goals & Philosophy__ **

They depend on us to be engaging, informative, and fair.

Our teaching should reflect rigor, relevance, and a relationship of respect.

**__Inspiration__**: Education…means emancipation. It means light and liberty. It means the uplifting of the soul of man into the glorious light of truth, the light by which men can only be made free. --**Frederick Douglass**

The entire object of true education is to make people not merely do the right things, but enjoy them; not merely industrious, but to love industry; not merely learned, but to love knowledge; not merely pure, but to love purity; not merely just, but to hunger and thirst after justice. --**John Ruskin**

To save man from the morass of propaganda, in my opinion, is one of the chief aims of education. Education must enable one to sift and weigh evidence, to discern the true from the false, the real from the unreal, and facts from the fiction. **--Martin Luther King, Jr.**
