Teaching

My pedagogical approach seeks to develop a sense of curiosity, exploration, and understanding within the classroom. As I often tell students, there is no such thing as a dumb question and a wrong answer is better than no answer at all. I work to cultivate a space where students can feel comfortable to interrogate, and even challenge, the material, bring their own life experiences to bear on the subject matter and also express openly what works for them and what does not.
