Teaching Philosophy

Dr Wright believes that the uptake and use of knowledge is internally motivated and that the most effective teaching methods inspire the learner to take the information offered and then expand the experience through self-guided and mentored learning experiences.  The faculty role is to be a model,  someone who guides the learning process of the student and helps them safely drink from the fire hydrant of knowledge.
