My Teaching Philosophy

A few points:

1. Teaching involves the emotional, social, and intellectual development of the student. Students do not just learn content; they learn how to grow as persons.
2. To me, good teaching is student-centered, permitting the student to work through his or her creative thinking process.
3. The good teacher is always patient and persistent, never giving up on the student. Each student is unique and can succeed step by step, little by little, with the right encouragement and support.
4. Learning happens inside and outside the classroom. Within a structured classroom setting, students learn how to be socially conscious members of society and informed, critical thinkers.
5. The classroom experience ought to be safe, fun, rigorous, challenging, and inspiring.
6. Learning requires making mistakes. Do not be afraid to make mistakes.
