• Teaching Style
  • I incorporate a lot of interaction with students. I believe that each of us learns differently and I need to address all of those different methods. Discussions in the classroom and online are critical to a student exploring their boundaries of understanding and growing. I facilitate learning rather than teaching. Every class teaches me something new and I look forward to each experience in the classroom and online.
