The following quotes reflect my general philosophy of education and learning:

 

“Learning is the process whereby knowledge is created through the transformation of experience.”       David Kolb

 

“Learning is directly proportional to the amount of fun you have…not a meaningless waste of the learner’s time, but a purposeful interaction that encourages participation and involvement.”      Bob Pike

 

As an instructor in the Community College, I believe my role is to engage students while providing and facilitating a learning environment that emphasizes student involvement, creativity and experiential learning. My goal is to help students to be successful and encourage their intellectual development through reflective, reciprocal and collaborative learning. I want to make the course content relevant to the student’s life and as the instructor, be enthusiastic about the process. I integrate a variety of activities, strategies and assessments/evaluations that are designed to encourage students to learn according to their own individual personality and style of learning.
