My philosophy of teaching is that we as educators should only be facilitating the learning process, because the real learning must come from the students. Students are in need of guidance regarding where they can go to find the right information, what information is important to know, and how it will apply to their chosen field. As an educator, I don't have to know everything, but I do have to be capable of directing the student along the right path. At the same time, I have to be vigilant and watchful so that they are finding the correct information and understanding what to do with it once they have found it. Active participation with the students in this process is key to a successful experience.
