Teaching Philosophy:
I bring to teaching a belief that all students be given the respect and dignity afforded to them as human beings. Based on this philosophical underpinning, I see myself as a facilitator who strives to create learner-centered educational experiences that enhance personal development, relationship-building, and self-directed learning. I believe learners are seeking instructors who guide them toward the development of specific competencies, intellectual development, and a love for learning. As someone who works toward becoming that kind of instructor, I seek to foster in students a desire to learn through various learning methods and modes, and to reflect on their learning and thinking. Ultimately, learning is a process that draws from various realities, to include learning styles, learners’ previous knowledge and experiences, positive relationships, and the environments where the teaching and learning take place.
