Author Introductions: Travis Jaxon

Name: “Travis Jaxon”

Defining Characteristic: Science/Math Educator

“Never lose sight of the fact that the child, as a learner, is not only the centre of the school system, but the only reason for its existence.”

I feel the work of an educator is as important as any work that can be done, and pursue my craft with a level of seriousness that reflects this belief. Hopefully, by making skilled use of my baloney detection kit, I can separate fact from fiction in the subtle science and exact art of pedagogy.

(editor's note: Travis Jaxon was a pen name I used to write for an underground newspaper in high school)
