Philosophy

My teaching philosophy is based on two principles: active student learning should be grounded in student learning outcomes; and curricular assessment influences acquisition of knowledge.

My goal as a teacher is to create a student-centered learning environment that fosters critical thinking skills; facilitates the acquisition of competency in both oral and written communication; and pursues critical thought beyond the confines of existing knowledge to strive for a greater understanding of social justice, civic responsibilities and rhetorical obligations.
