TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
| Teaching Philosophy Statement |
| As i begin these reflections about teaching, i am reminded of one of mark Twain's dictums, "Don't let schooling get in the way of education." i think that the goal of educating university-level students can only be achieved by presenting them with more than lecturers, rote memorization tasks, and straightforward projects (i.e traditional schooling). in the other words, an educator must move beyond the traditional model of schooling to a point at which students can learn effectively. |
TEACHING GOALS
| Teaching Goals Statement |
| To achieve the goal of helping students learn, an educator must have a teaching strategy that guides the delivery of the course content and specific tactics that can be used to achieve success. several of principles that i use to guide my teaching activities such as know my subject, know my students, make the material relevant and so on. |
