Teaching Philosophy.
Becoming is better than being – Carol S. Dweck
A growth mindset is important for me to constantly seek to enhance teaching strategies/content while also important to convey to students to embrace challenges and learning from failures that are inevitable as students develop capacity to contextualize, develop, and drive their own ideas.
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step – Lao Tzu
A wholistic and long-term view of education is necessary to produce education that makes numbers and words on paper come to life (project-based learning & real-world examples) and equip students with the tools and passion to continue life-long education.
Individually, we are one drop. Together, we are an ocean – Ryunosuke Satoro
To innovate and reach greater numbers of people (especially those who have been historically disadvantaged or undermined), we need to collaborate and use technology in new ways to augment education.
Teach people not lectures – Anonymous
I focus on understanding individual needs and empowering students to excel. This includes beyond formal education or science, that I train students in writing, presenting, networking, teaching, mentoring, managing time, and goal setting. It also includes focusing on helping students learn terminology and concepts that will enable them to cross-disciplines.
