Teaching Philosophy
“My teaching philosophy is grounded in fostering accessible and inclusive learning experiences by promoting active learning and learner autonomy. I believe students learn most effectively when they have control over their own learning and when the environment functions as a collaborative space for inquiry, reflection, and constructing meaning. In this model, my role as an educator is to facilitate learning experiences that invite students to build knowledge through personal experience and creative problem-solving.
In practice, my approach prioritizes process, where students are acquiring skills, such as collaboration, research, time management, self-reflection, and problem-solving. I design lessons that encourage students to ask questions, take creative risks, and engage in iterative exploration rather than polished outcomes. By valuing multiple modes of engagement and assessment, I aim to create learning environments where all students recognize their individual strengths and feel empowered to take ownership of their own learning.”
