Mrs.Deir

 

Welcome to Chemistry! name is Kelley McIntyre Deir and I am one of the chemistry instructors at North Olmsted High School.  I will be your teacher for the 2009-2010 school year and would like to introduce myself to you and tell you some of the goals I have planned for this year.

  I graduated from Notre Dame College with a Bachelor’s Degree in Chemistry and then earned my Master’s Degree in Education from Baldwin Wallace.  This is my eleventh year at North Olmsted High School teaching science.  I have been involved in a number of student activities including coaching, Senior Class advisor, SADD and have been a member of many committees that work to improve the school community.   I enjoy teaching very much and strive to provide my students with the most positive, innovative learning process and environment as I can.

 As a teacher, not only do I like to teach science, I like to teach learning skills while incorporating science content.  I would like for all of you to gain a new perspective and appreciation of science.  There are several ways in which this can be accomplished that are explained in the course guide.  I believe that every student deserves a learning experience that not only focuses on content, but on the learning process as a whole.  So not only will you learn science, you will learn how to become effective learners. 

My husband and I have a daughter named Grace and two puppies:  Louie (basset hound) and Lucy (beagle).
