My Philosophy

Continued Learning

Inherent in my love for teaching is my love for continued learning.  I firmly believe that in order to teach something well, one must be a master of the material. I enjoy the process of learning – asking new questions, the process of discovery, finding the answers, applying the knowledge to new situations.

Teaching Beliefs and Values

I believe teaching is a huge responsibility.  Teaching and learning go hand-in-hand.  Being a loyal, lifelong learner is important in becoming an effective teacher and continuing to be a meaningful educator.  I believe in the responsibility of the teacher and learner to be engaged in continuous, dedicated knowledge-seekers and to remain inquisitive about things around them.  I encourage learners to look for opportunities to search for new answers to old questions.
