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