Summary
- Philosophical Instruction I am motivated by my belief in my ability to make a difference in the lives of my students. Teachers are uniquely positioned to instill a passion for learning and an enthusiasm for a subject. This is a big duty for me, and I devote myself to improving my practice so that my courses provide students with the skills and ideals of lifelong learners. My teaching method is based on providing varied learning experiences that pique students' interest and excitement for the subject while also delivering knowledge. A belief in student-centered learning and inquiry particularly impacts my approach. I believe that positive working connections are at the heart of the teaching profession, and I strive hard to cultivate them.
