Teaching Philosophy

My teaching philosophy centers on my commitment as an instructor to understand how students learn. By understanding the multiple ways students attain knowledge, I can design learning experiences that build on strengths and supports. Building individual learning strengths and supports enables students to discover their capacity for increasing educational content. This philosophy allows me to design appropriate learning opportunities that promote critical thinking, broadening the individual student's contextual understanding for developing new knowledge. What I have come to understand; the learning process is a collaboration of research, discovery, contextual understanding, and engaging the implied and inherent applications of learning opportunities.
