Educational Philosophy
​
I believe that students learn best when they participate in student-centered teaching philosophies.  Hands-on learning and active participation allow students to experiment, and learning comes from finding answers from questions.  Students should be able to discover ideas on their own through hands-on activity because it is the most effective way of learning and is considered true learning​.
