Teaching Philosophy

"I hear—I forget, I see—I learn, I do—I understand, I teach—I master"

The quote above describes a good portion of my teaching philosophy. I believe students learn the most when they are engaged in the learning. This can be done by incorporating activities into a lecture or by relating a lesson to the experiences of the students. Each student is unique, therefore, it is imperative to incorporate multiple learning styles (visual, logical, kinesthetic, etc) and diversity within a lecture.

When a student is capable of teaching the information he or she has learned, it is a sign that he/she has mastered the subject matter. Promoting group work allows the students to explore his or her understanding by being put into a situation where the student is challenged to help and teach another. Successful group work is often accomplished when a team atmosphere is present. A positive and respectful attitude towards each individual is crucial in accomplishing this.
