What is your teaching philosophy?
During my early years as a teacher I was involved with middle school students. I learned the best approach was to avoid forcing them to memorize answers to questions they never asked in the first place. I was most successful when I stimulated their curiosity about a particular concept and facilitated their exploration in a lab-based inquiry driven approach. My years as a physician have taught me the importance of diagnosing the problem, and then designing a treatment plan that will bring the student to optimal performance level allowing him/her to gain the confidence needed to succeed in life.
