TEACHING PHILOSOPHY

My basic philosophy of teaching is based on two firmly held beliefs.

  • First, that all people are capable of learning. I strongly believe that if a student is not learning in my class, then I must change something in order for that student to be successful. I teach courses in Differentiated Instruction, which means providing different opportunities for students to engage in learning given their own background knowledge, interests, and strengths. I strive to practice what I preach and differentiate instruction in my own courses as much as possible, while still holding high standards for all students.
  • Second, I believe that learning should not be a painful experience. I want my students to enjoy learning and try to design class activities that push their thinking and allow them to take academic risks in a safe environment. I believe that if learners are actively engaged and excited about the class, then they can’t help but learn
