Educational Philosophy:

1. One must understand a learner's understanding and emotional setting before seeking to aid their education.
2. I seek to assist learners with their educational frameworks, setting the situation for their consideration of new ideas for acceptance, modification or rejection of those ideas.
3. I seek to inspire and energize learners through interactive, creative educational strategies, helping them to become their best selves.
