Teaching Philosophy

Critical reflection is at the heart of being an effective teacher. Critical reflection involves constant moments of surprise, and that is an important element in re-energizing practice. Reflective practice stems from the thought that teachers are committed to understanding and developing their educational values in order to advance their practice. Reflection implies flexibility and a willingness to adapt to change.

Transformative learning is the essence of adult education. Transformative learners tend to move toward a frame of reference that is inclusive, discriminating, reflective and integrative of experience. An environment that encourages collaboration and is student centered and faculty are in a mode of sharing and learning from each other is essential for transformation. Keep the curiosity alive!!
