Teaching

In seeing myself as a lifelong learner, my teaching approach is steeped in adaptability, student centered learning, and self reflection. The role of a teacher is that of facilitator and mentor, to promote and model engagement with materials, information, and processes.

Each student is an individual and deserves to be both appreciated and challenged. It is critical to know a student and to understand where they come from in order to truly inspire their participation. In building a supportive learning environment it is the responsibility of the teacher to set the tone and model positive communication that demonstrates genuine and respectful interactions with each student.
