TEACHING

Teaching Philosophy

My teaching philosophy supports the notion that “learning and thinking go hand in hand …and the aim of all learning is practical efficacy.” In the classroom I make every effort to facilitate a collaborative learning environment whereby each student’s level of engagement allows for the opportunity to participate in positive and meaningful dialogue, promoting ideological and social diversity.
