Philosophy of teaching:
My philosophy to teaching is: In the classroom, I create an atmosphere where through inspiration and motivation, an individual can participate and be interactive. Through virtual experiences and challenges, any subject matter and student can come to life. Knowledge is power. In sharing what you know, the educational components of traditional and non-traditional academic avenues can be explored. This allows contribution and validation through the learning process and presents opportunity for leadership and achievement. The desire to obtain knowledge engages the whole student - Mind and Body. Deep connections are made not only with one's self, but with others as well. Within all the encounters we have, we create a stage for self-regulation and purpose, but in the end, we all dance to the rhythm of life.
