My Teaching Philosophy

MY TEACHING PHILOSOPHY

I firmly believe that each one of you has the capacity to be successful in this class. Futhermore, I am grateful for the opportunity to work with you and to be part of your educational journey. Utilizing multiple approaches to motivate my students, I help to foster critical thinking and to establish a learner-centered environment in the classroom. My classroom includes guided discovery, collaboration, and bursts of direct instruction. Students in my classes present their ideas, engage in class discussions, and practice self-reflection. Whenever possible, I connect lessons to the real-world.
