My Teaching Philosophy
I view teaching as an opportunity to discuss and practice theoretical concepts and terms in a real-life setting. In concert with students, I will facilitate discussion, encourage interaction, support ideas and encourage individual students as appropriate. To me, teaching is a journey – one in which we will learn and grow as we create experiences together. I hope we will all be better for journeying together.
