Ph.D. - Researcher TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
I believe that my role as an instructor
is to be able to successfully reach diverse groups by instructing in a manner that facilitates in depth discussion as
well as bringing together the varying experiences and knowledge bases of the students. In addition, I view my job as
an instructor to offer guidance and direction and helping them reach their potential both personally and academically through
not only teaching, but through advising, mentoring and coaching. The distance learning medium has created an opportunity
to serve students like never before, and on a global scale, which also requires instructors today to be even more diverse
in their understanding and pedagogy. This requires instructors to be flexible and able to reach these diverse populations
and on many levels, specifically in the understanding that cultural diversity is not geographically based only, but also stems
from diverse thought processes as well. Although I employ various teaching styles, I lean more toward a demonstrator
/ personal model, which encourages student participation within the class. I find that the best results come when I
model what is expected within the course, which enables me to coach and lead them in a specific direction. By doing so, I
find that I can guide and assist the students in applying what they learn in a meaningful and practical way, which they then
can put into practice in their education, lives and careers. I understand that my role as a model for my students I can be
a part of helping them achieve their goals and move them toward their successes. To me that is one of the greatest privileges
I can think of and one that inspires me everyday.
