I aim to help students experience the world more richly, beyond the world of textbooks and inert facts, guiding and supporting them towards becoming:
-reflective practitioners
-who think independently and learn how to learn for themselves
-who creatively consider how things might be otherwise (through habits of posing questions, examining assumptions, exploring alternative perspectives)
-who assess evidence critically
-collaborative thinkers
-who exhibit good listening and analytical/sympathetic reading skills
-who share their ideas and support others in developing their own ideas
-effective communicators
-who can write and speak effectively and convey information visually
-who can organize their thoughts and reasoning and contextualize their messages
-persons who appreciate diverse subject matter
-who appreciate (in the sense of understand) significant concepts
-who appreciate (in the sense of value) their new knowledge and its context(s)
-who appreciate high standards of quality instruction |
