TEACHING
Brief teaching philosophy
I see teaching as involving a reciprocal relationship between the instructor and their students. I believe that instructors have duties to their students and that students have duties to their teachers. 

As the instructor, I believe that it is my responsibility to provide students with:
•	an environment conducive to learning
•	knowledge that will help them be successful in achieving their lives' goals, as well as materials, opportunities, and feedback that will help them learn
•	help in becoming and remaining motivated to be successful both in their studies and in applying their knowledge to solve problems in their lives.
I also believe that my students have duties to me, to their fellow students, and to themselves. I believe that these duties support me in fulfilling my duties to students. Thus, I believe that it is the students' responsibility to be supportive of the instructor and fellow students by being:
•	tolerant of different points of view
•	prepared for class
•	ready to work hard to complete individual and group course activities
•	willing to bring their life experiences into the class to enrich discussions
•	able to try to apply what they learn in class to solve the problems they may face in their jobs and in their lives.
