Teaching Experience

My professional knowledge lies in my teaching, professional development, practicum, and educational experiences. In future classrooms, I constantly reflect on student development, explore different learning theories and pedagogy, stay up to date and consistent with curriculum and ethics, and continue my own educational research as well as read others. I will consider opinions different from my own and try to keep an open mind to best expand my knowledge.
