My teaching philosophy is an extension of my passion for communication.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Teaching is more than a lesson being taught and a lecture being given; I firmly believe that teaching is the process of communicating the rhetorical, the relational, and the practical applications of every lesson. Teaching is a process of sharing information and assisting students on their respective journeys. Teaching isn\u2019t\u2019 about trying to \u201ccram\u201d ideas, definitions, and theories into students\u2019 minds; it is an opportunity to guide them towards higher understanding and meaningful connections.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span><strong>\u201cA teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.\u201d \u2013\u00a0<em>Henry Adams.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span>I take teaching my students seriously and strive not only to teach content but also to make it relatable and personal. I believe in creating course material that reflects students\u2019 lives. During lectures, I strive to relate every aspect to students and society and demonstrate the lesson&#8217;s practical application. I believe that an educator should never be stagnant. It is our duty and my passion to continue learning and sharing what I learn.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<!-- Quick Adsense WordPress Plugin: http:\/\/quickadsense.com\/ -->\n<div class=\"3201ed99976a4c24b1820a56bfe0be64\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Biggie -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:300px;height:250px\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0989727107057872\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"4040876636\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My teaching philosophy is a work in progress and has continued evolving over the years as an undergraduate student, a graduate student, and a trainer.
