Everyone in the classroom contributes as a student, teacher, and thinker. I learn from students as much as they learn from me. One way I emphasize this philosophy in my classes is to incorporate regular feedback from students. For example, I will ask students to fill out a mid-course evaluation of the class, in which they reflect on the course goals and provide feedback on whether or not the course is helping them meet these goals thus far. I believe we never stop learning, and I want my students to know we can learn from each other.

All students are individuals, and everyone learns in their own unique way. I use multiple methods of teaching (linguistic, visual, auditory, kinesthetic) to reach students, so that no one is left behind. It’s important to understand everyone’s needs, strengths and weakness as it helps me as a teacher to provide relevant material and lessons in order to meet their learning outcomes.
