The theme of my teaching is to encourage preservice and inservice teachers to engage in life long learning and to connect educational theory and practice. The related theme, and one which undergirds each of my courses, is "to teach the self how to teach the self how to teach". My teaching evaluations indicate these themes are implemented as I model student-centered, effective, enthusiastic teaching with reality based current examples connecting theory and practice. A third theme regarding my teaching is my honoring individual differences.
