MY TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
Below are the guiding principles to my teaching philosophy:
1. to broaden learning journeys beyond our national borders so that we may critically examine and participate in education and community development practices;
2. to acknowledge diverse roles in the classroom that are of, but not limited to, catalysts for discussion, teachers through life experiences, community members through association, and thinkers through imaginative possibilities;
3. to create conditions for the development of competent, progressive, and critical educators and leaders prepared for a globalizing society; and
4. to facilitate awareness of the power dynamics in the classroom and society in general, acknowledging oppressions that have occurred and are continuously present, and of the efforts to build a respectful work and learning community.
