Teaching Philosophy and Experience
Teaching Philosophy and Experience
My teaching philosophy focuses on three primary goals. The first is to create lasting learning experiences that are useful for the students' professional and personal lives. The second is to help students to grow as individuals who have the ability to engage in respectful dialogue on controversial topics, which is particularly relevant in the current context. The third is to build a connection with the students to support and promote their personal and professional growth, both during and after the course.
