My name is Jerry Gutman I am the AP coordinator at JAMD and teach AP Government, Global Politics, Contemporary Legal Issues, Economics, and more. My goal is to open my students' minds to a new way of looking at history, politics, and government by emphasizing critical thinking. I want my students to see issues from multiple perspectives and argue their positions based on hard evidence. They know that all opinions are accepted in class as long as they are backed up with facts. I've been an educator for over 40 years and I know how to reach students of all levels of capabilities and experience. Regardless of where they are in September, students leave my class- room in June knowing how to apply themselves to a discipline. You can't teach anyone everything. But you can teach them how to learn and inspire them with the desire to learn. That's what we do at JAMD and that's what makes our students so successful. z SALMON PATE WITH CAPERS ON PUMPERNICKEL TRIANGLES 2 cans (about 6 to 7 ounces each) salmon fillet (looks like a tuna can) 3 Tbsp. lowfat sour cream 3 Tbsp. fresh minced dill Juice of 1/2 lemon 2 Tbsp. drained capers Salt and pepper to taste 16-20 party pumpernickel breads, cut in half diagonally Dill sprigs, garnish Drain salmon if necessary and mash with a fork in a medium bowl.
