My Teaching Values

These are my guiding values

1

Clarity

I believe that students learn best when expectations are clear, so I craft syllabi and assignments with care and attention to detail.

2

Balance

I strive to strike a balance between friendliness and formality so that roles in the classroom are clear and expectations are taken seriously,

3

Adaptability

I take feedback seriously and look at myself and my work with a critical eye, making adjustments when needed to ensure student success.

4

Relevancy/Diversity

I choose material that speaks to local and global concerns and represents a diversity of authorship and include an element of choice in assignments to promote personal relevance.

5

Mixed Approach

I employ a variety of methods, both traditional and technology-based, to appeal to different learning styles and maximize value for students.
