TEACHING
Teaching Philosophy
My teaching philosophy supports the notion that “learning and thinking go hand in hand
…and the aim of all learning is practical efficacy.” In the classroom I make every effort
to facilitate a collaborative learning environment whereby each student’s level of
engagement allows for the opportunity to participate in positive and meaningful dialogue,
promoting ideological and social diversity.
