I live for those moments as a teacher, when the students say, 'I got this now!' I truly believe in the transformative power of education, as knowledge is something that cannot be taken away, and I try to encourage all...

...teaching methods have to be reassessed and reformulated. A 'good teacher' grows with his or her students and all parties leave the classroom as more highly skilled learners and teachers than they were when they arrived.

I remind my students that this is a collective process: the student has an obligation to work hard and...... My teaching philosophy has...
