My Teaching Philosophy

I believe all students are individual and everyone learns in their own unique way and their own pace. I use multiple methods of teaching to reach students(linguistic, visual, auditory, kinesthetic) so that no one is left behind.

I believe we are all teachers and learners. I learn from students as much as they learn from me. One way I incorporate this philosophy into my classes is to get feedback from students. For example, I will let students fill out a mid-course evaluation of the class, in which they reflect on the course goals and my teaching method and provide feedback on whether or not the course is helping them meet these goals so far. Students will provide useful information for me on what is working in class, and what I can improve upon. I believe we never stop learning, and I want my students to know we can learn from each other.

I also believe that every student can learn and succeed in different ways. So I will try to create a classroom culture of high expectations for all students. I will always praise the good things about my students, even it’s a slight improvement. I will always encourage them that they can do it if they try, but I won’t accept excuses for not having their homework done. I have faith in every student.
