I used 4 questions to flush out my teaching philosophy:

  1.  What do I enjoy about learning?     I enjoying challenges, discovering new ideas, new points of view, I enjoy being humbled, I enjoy being pushed out of my comfort zone
  2. What do I enjoy about teaching?   I enjoy the challenge.   I like that I am having an impact on someone’s life
  3. What to I hope to accomplish?  Besides learning the subject matter; To push students out of their comfort zones so they can grow; to get the “light blub” to turn on and see the world in a different way; to see and accept different points of view; to be humbled at the vastness of knowledge
  4. When I Teach I ….. feel alive; I try to explain things different ways and different modes; I learn from my students
