My Teaching
Teaching Philosophy
I believe that teaching is learning in reverse; that is, breaking down the steps of learning to allow others to follow that path. Whether clarifying particularly difficult concepts or adding pieces into a growing puzzle picture, my role as instructor is to build the students’ understanding of both the subject and the context in which it exists. I approach teaching with three goals in mind: to encourage students to experience the perspectives of others, to mentor students in the university experience, and to continue to develop new pathways for my students to participate in Sociology.
