Mr. Burris
Hello Leopards and Future Leopards!
My name is Mr. Burris and I am the Teacher-Librarian for Malala Yousafzai Elementary. I have been teaching for over 15 years and this is my second year in Fort Bend ISD. I attended Sam Houston State University, where I earned my Bachelor's of Arts in Education. I soon went back to school at Lamar University, where I earned my Master's in Educational Administration. Finally, I attended the University of North Texas to earn my School-Librarian Certification.
My favorite genres are Fantasy and Science Fiction, but I enjoy all books. I strongly believe in childrens' choice when it comes to books. I strive to ensure that students always have books in their possession. I see the MYE Library as a workshop where students can come in and discover new ideas, expand upon ideas they already have, and use their imaginations to create. School librarys look different than when I was in school. We aren't quiet. We are conversing about our academics. We aren't just getting books. We discover new passions. Most of all we come together to share in our ever expanding love of literacy and media.
