Teaching Philosophy: My teaching philosophy is a combination of constructivist and humanistic approaches that utilizes a variety of techniques such as short lectures, small group discussions and experiential activities. I see myself as a facilitator of learning both inside and outside the classroom. My focus is for students to construct their own meaning of the material, think critically about what they are learning, and discover how to apply what they have learned in real life situations. In counseling, I believe that a positive relationship creates an environment that facilitates change. I also believe this is the case in the classroom where I try to create an environment that facilitates learning.
