Teaching Philosophy
As I
enter the classroom each day, I devote my energies to creating an
environment that is conducive to learning. That is, I try to uphold
a classroom milieu that is freethinking, open, and relaxed. I
believe for students to learn, they must be present in my classroom
with an open and clear mind, ready to learn. I believe to maximize
learning and growth, the student needs to be free from external
distractions, and feel comfortable in my classroom. To achieve this
end, I make it a point to know who my students are.
