Teaching Philosophy
I am committed to fostering a student-centered learning environment that embraces differentiated instruction. We should use appropriate formative and summative assessments to monitor student progress and to customize teaching strategies according to individual requirements. I foster a conducive and interactive classroom environment by incorporating technology and facilitating collaborative learning opportunities, like group work and peer instructions. Education should prioritize the cultivation of essential skills crucial for real-life success, including critical thinking, communication, problem-solving, resilience, creativity, and teamwork. This holistic approach not only equips students with practical abilities but also instills a lifelong passion for learning.
