My name is Travis Cooper, and I am a social studies teacher at Harmony Science Academy Euless. I started my teaching career at Dual Credit College for 10 years before transitioning to Harmony. This is my second year here, bringing my total experience to 12 years.
I teach Journalism, AP Human Geography, AP U.S. History, AP Government, and on-level Social Studies. This is my first year teaching journalism, which I find a fun yet overwhelming experience. It's exciting that we build the course as we go and have more freedom than other core classes.
To manage the variety of classes I teach, I strive to earn my students' trust and create a classroom environment where it's okay to fail. I help my students learn from their mistakes and try to incorporate my quirky personality into my lessons.
However, I've noticed that both students and teachers tend to feel unhappy in the middle of the school year. If I could change anything about the school, I would focus on adding more joy and happiness for teachers and students.
