My Approach to Working With Students I enjoy teaching and look forward to the learning opportunities that my students and I provide one another. I believe learning is a life long endeavor and can be achieved through dialogue, discovery, and experiential learning. Therefore, I incorporate a variety of different activities and assignments into each course. I believe in respecting individual differences and celebrating humanity. I believe that each of us has a profound impact on one another and because of this, effective communication skills are imperative. |
