Teaching Philosophy
I believe students in higher education must be engaged and take an active role in their learning. I seek to accomplish this through interactive individual and group activities within the classroom that provide opportunities for problem–solving and critical thinking. I believe assessments must be varied in composition where both the retention of materials and writing skills can be assessed. I use presentation assignments that help develop organization and oral communication skills. My role goes beyond that of an instructor. I strive to be a facilitator, guide, and mentor using my years of field experience to enhance the learning environment in the classroom.
