Personal Philosophy on Education

A classroom should be a place where ideas are shared and concepts discussed. If the

student/ instructor relationship is to be successful, there must necessarily be a two-way

conversation.  I   have found that actively involving students in the conversation helps them to

learn the lingo of the subject, thus increasing their interest and understanding.  I try to impress

upon my students that their collegiate experience serves only to heighten their awareness of the

world around them and train them to think in a more structured way.  It forces them to investigate

ideas and concepts they might otherwise not explore.  We provide the  tools, the students build

the foundation, and then they graduate.  What they do in the "real  world" represents the structure

they build on that foundation.  I firmly believe that instructors are as much students as

those they teach. When we forget that, we lose touch with the learning process.
