Teaching Philosophy:
My teaching philosophy incorporates experiential strategies and methods that expand learning while promoting critical thinking. I advocate exploring controversial topics and subjects to dispel myths and identify facts. Searching for truth can be difficult; however cowardice and controversy are often products of ignorance. Enlightenment and peace are the rewards of education and justice. I look forward to seeing you in class or chatting with you via my on-line course forum.
Student Success Philosophy:
Student success is a critical element in the furtherment and development of students as they evolve through educational programs and integrate into their respective communities. Collaborating and building strong relationships with learning support resources, industry and workforce opportunities, and college support services ensures that each student is provided with optimum opportunity to succeed and meet one's potential. I am committed to working with students to meet their personal and professional goals all while aligning institutional resources to ensure success.
