Teaching Philosophy

My goal whenever I enter a classroom is to find ways to engage students in the process of learning physics. Having students actively participate in their own instruction helps me as a teacher to present the material in ways they are better able to learn it, as well as helping the students to retain information and begin applying it to situations. Ultimately, the goal is for my students to develop intellectual independence where they will engage with the material without instruction and become a leader in their own education.

A detailed discussion of my teaching philosophy can be found in my Teaching Statement.
