Teaching Philosophy: I believe that learning is a collaborative process between the educator and the student. In the process, both the students and the educator bring knowledge that can enhance a deeper understanding of the material. Students in my classes are taught how to use evidence and knowledge to make decisions needed for completing needs assessments, intervention planning, and program development.
