Teaching Philosophy
Effective learning requires focus, attention and the ability to learn through experimentation and practice. Effective teaching requires an understanding that how students learn is as important as knowledge of the subject matter. A key philosophy learned from the Training Within Industry program from WW2 applies: “If the student hasn’t learned, the teacher hasn’t taught.”
