What is your teaching philosophy for Lasell courses?
"As a professor at Lasell, I aspire to create social and cultural contexts through pedagogy that will allow students, regardless of background, to foster their higher or internal critical thinking. In this sense, teaching is like a dance, where skills, knowledge, dispositions and experiences partner with theory in ways that support and sustain each other. Each course I teach is an opportunity to encourage inquiry-focused perspectives that shift emphasis from the superficial receiving and obtaining of content to the building of lifelong habits of authentic learning."p>
