My Teaching Philosophy
I am an experienced, focused, innovative, vibrant, engaging, approachable, and adaptable teacher as well as a lifelong learner.
Experienced: I am an expert faculty with 15 years of experience teaching mostly at the graduate level.
Focused: I start each learning experience by envisioning the “end in mind” to focus on achieving the best learning outcome for each learner. I integrate insights gained from previous learners, peers, and self-reflection into contemporary practices, using the evidence, to foster self-directed and focused learning environments.
Innovative: I love to invent new opportunities for experiential learning! Because I am experienced educator, I am not afraid to take risks to try creative ways to engage each learner, each time we are together.
Vibrant: I bring energy and passion into the classroom. If I’m not excited about the content, why should anyone else be?
Engaging: I see my role as the facilitator of the learning experience, not the ‘sage on the stage’. I strive to engage the learner in many interactive learning experiences, inside and outside the classroom.
Approachable: I am student-centered. I am successful if the students learn.
Adaptable: I am constantly scanning the environment to infuse the most current conversation into the learning experience.
Lifelong Learner: I never stop learning. Never.
