Teaching Philosophy

I truly enjoy teaching. My pedagogical philosophy revolves around creating environments where students learn through hands-on, real-life experiences that challenge them into mastering thought beyond oneself and treating others with respect. I like to incorporated inquiry-based learning, interactivity and collaborative work into as much of my class as possible.  Learning should be both fun and challenging, so incorporating both into my lessons is crucial. My students have always made my job enjoyable and I hope that continues here at The U. At the end of the day, my goal is to create those 'Aha!' moments and guide students on their path to discovery.
