Ph.D. - ABD 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.
