Summary
In my previous educator roles, ranging from: teaching English in Morocco while in the Peace Corps, teaching at a private school for the children of multinational executives, teaching inner city youth in Baltimore, to homeschooling my own five children while running a ranch in Ecuador, I have always centered my teaching philosophy on creating an inclusive, student-centered environment where learners feel empowered to ask questions and take risks.
