Teaching

Teaching students is one of the most fulfilling aspects of working in higher education. As educators, our goal is to disseminate knowledge, teach specific skills, and prepare students for their future careers. Each student is unique and, consequently, each classroom is unique, and teaching effectively requires diverse strategies to meet students where they are at. To do this, my teaching philosophy can be subdivided into four foundational pillars: (1) clarify learning objectives and assessments, (2) engage students using multiple access points, (3) communicate concepts to diverse audiences, and (4) empower students to solve new problems.
