About Mr. Ferrante

I am excited and enthusiastic about teaching 2nd grade this year!  After student teaching at Green Woods in the fall of 2011 I  spent the remainder of the year volunteering and substitute teaching grades K-8. I believe in fostering a lifelong love of learning and I feel that Green Woods is the perfect place to put this philosophy into practice. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with friends and family.  I have been studying martial arts for over twenty years and love to cook. 
"A good teacher can never be fixed in a routine.  Each moment requires a sensitive mind that is constantly changing and constantly adapting.  A teacher must never impose the students to fit his/her favorite pattern.  A good teacher protects his/her pupils from their own influence.  A teacher is never a giver of truth; they are a guide, a pointer to the truth that each student must find for themselves.  I am not teaching you anything.  I just help you explore yourself."  -Bruce Lee
