At the heart of my teaching philosophy is the belief that teaching is a design discipline. Educators must continually make intentional decisions—about content, context, and student needs—that support meaningful and authentic learning. I believe teachers are not merely conveyors of knowledge but also co-learners and architects of experiences that foster autonomy, inquiry, and an equity-consciousness in their students. 

I strive to:

• Teach in digitally networked and locally connected communities.

• Use interactive and responsive design technologies.

• Foster inquiry-based, equity-centered learning approaches.
  
  

“The teacher is not a sage or taskmaster, but a guide crafting learning journeys that students help shape.”

 My classroom is a dynamic, evolving space—whether online or in-person—where students are encouraged to think critically, work collaboratively, and reflect deeply. I embrace constructivist pedagogy and draw upon the work of Freire, Jonassen, and Mosston & Ashworth in cultivating student-centered, equitable, and transformative learning environments.
