TEACHING AND LEARNING PHILOSOPHY<\/strong><\/h6>\n

My goal in teaching is to help students develop critical thinking skills while providing them with solid pedagogical foundations for effective, inclusive, and culturally responsive teaching in their future classrooms. My students will experience learning through the lens of a continually reflective practitioner to help them use data-driven research to improve student outcomes in their classrooms. My university classroom uses a student-centered teaching model in my classroom experiences. I strive to show students that creating both personal and professional meaning out of the lessons can increase their understanding and future application of the pedagogical topics.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
