Teaching philosophy Statement
"The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires." William A. Ward
My Teaching Philosophy Statement conveys my teaching values, beliefs, and goals while providing evidence of my teaching effectiveness.
My teaching philosophy results from being a long-time teacher of varied courses delivered in various ways to various audiences. I have taught in higher education for 39 years. During that time I have taught approximately 13,000 individuals. I have become adept at reading the needs of my students and tailoring instruction to meet those needs. In addition, I have consistently followed course guidelines and professional standards when designing curricula.
My teaching philosophy incorporates two interconnected foundations: learning and teaching. Learning involves students as participating learners while teaching utilizes design, structure, and implementation of strategic pedagogies. |
