We welcome the new faculty and staff to DIS! We hope you have a great year teaching and hope that you will stay with us for a few years to teach. We interviewed some of our favorite new teachers for this report. We chose Mr. Brian Harmon, the Middle School Social Studies Teacher! We admire his teaching abilities and enjoy the things we do in class with him. Here are some questions we asked Mr. Brian.
How long will you stay to teach in DIS?
About 5 to 10 yrs.
How would you describe yourself in 5 words?
Curious, restless, wandering, focused and analytical.
Have you ever done major debating for universities or states?
No but I debate all the time with newspapers and people.
What was the reason you chose to come to Taiwan?
For my son’s education.
What kind of construction project would you build if you were an architect?
I would build a system of various different types of farms where anyone could go and live and work there. I would build it all over the world.
How do you feel about the environment in DIS?
The environment is disciplined and organized. Students are active and wanting to learn.
Do you like the places you were teaching before or is DIS better?
I used to teach in college so I didn’t have to deal with so many grades and sections so it was easier. I liked where I used to teach better, although the environment here is much better.
