Hello, my name is John Harris II. I graduated from Sam Houston High School in 1999. I then went to Prairie View A&M University, where I received a degree in Agriculture Industrial Education. Throughout my life I have worked in many different aspects of the construction industry. Started my first business in trucking industry hauling construction materials from precast doubles T’s for parking garaged to tilt wall for building. I come to the classroom form three generations of educator, I make the fourth generation
Construction Technology is an instructional program that prepares an individual for employment or continued education in the occupations of Carpentry, Electrical Wiring, Masonry, or Plumbing. Construction Technology is a basic course teaching fundamentals of safety, tools, math, and basic carpentry, electrical, masonry, and plumbing skills. Construction Technology is a program that prepares students for employment or continued education in the occupations of carpentry.
My goals as a teacher are as follows:
Students learn to love to learn - A student is not going to retain much of anything learned if the student did not enjoy learning it. Further, students who love to learn will then take control of their education and pursue it with passion.
Students gain confidence and self-worth - This is the most important ancillary function of a school. What good does an education do you if you believe you are incapable of achieving anything worthwhile?
Students learn how to interact properly with peers and authority figures - This also is a most important ancillary function of a school. Spending most of their day at school, this is where students learn how to eventually be adults. A student who does not learn how to respect authorities or peers will be far more prone to lose his or her job.
