What is your teaching philosophy?
I believe in the power of education; both in the power of what it does and in the power of what it is. Education provides opportunity by shaping a mind and giving it the knowledge and tools it needs to be able to solve problems, approach challenges, and create innovation. Consequently, those with more education tend to be more mobile and stable in our society because they are able to meet a supply, the need for problem-solving and invention for the betterment of the human race, for which there is and will always be much demand. While education does provide this stability, and for that reason is important, perhaps the most important aspect of education is its nature, for education is something that has value in and of itself. Learning about biological processes or how to draw deeper meaning out of stories through literary analysis will likely be able to land the scholar a good job, but will also allow the student to think more critically about any issue he may face, whether it be a technological or ethical issue, and to see the world in a deeper and more colorful way.
