Teaching Philosophy and Experience

“Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.”
—John Dewey, Education and Experience, 239

My foremost aims as an instructor are: (i) to produce a congenial and inclusive classroom atmosphere that supports the aim of learning; (ii) and to create engagement and incentives that empower students in developing skills in reading, thinking, and writing clearly about arguments, evidence, and ideas.
