Educational Philosophy

“I believe that learning is most meaningful when students solve problems intelligently and on their own. My responsibility is to provide just enough information to guide them toward the solutions that I know they are seeking. When students venture beyond connecting the dots to discover the systemic pattern underlying those dots, profound learning takes place.”
