Teaching Philosophy: Abridged Version

• make learning universally accessible for all students
  
• remain excited and motivated about the subject so that my enthusiasm infects my students
  
• push to find creative practices in the classroom; do not be afraid to change methods and try out new strategies; discard practices that do not work
  
• challenge myself to acquire more content knowledge through self-study, coursework, and other professional development activities
  
• remember what it feels like to be a student
  
• expect hard work from my students, and give them my best in kind
