Teaching Philosophy

As an educator, some of my guiding principles include:

1. Using an equity framework

2. Establishing a foundation of dignity & respect

3. Building connections with students

4. Straightforwardness & honesty in lessons & evaluation

5. Blending both history & real-world application into materials

6. Encouraging critical thinking skills

7. End goal is to understand rather than rote memorization

8. Constantly soliciting feedback from students & using their feedback to adjust coursework in real-time
