Philosophy
My teaching is focused on preparing students for the 21st century! Whether you plan a future career in business, government, or nonprofits or intend to become an entrepreneur, you will need to think in holistic terms that encompass issues such as globalization, sustainability and social justice. My approach in the classroom is to help you recognize your own place as consumer, citizen and future professional. Systems thinking is the core paradigm. My starting point for each class is that learning is exciting and empowering.
