Teaching Philosophy
My objective as a
teacher of developmental writing is to create an environment in which
students learn how to communicate effectively. Students will learn
how to communicate well through their writing as they:
- learn
to think critically
- learn
to function effectively in an information economy
- develop
problem-solving strategies
My
job as an instructor is to clearly communicate course goals and objectives
to each student; nothing should be a mystery.
As a facilitator
of student learning, my job is to provide opportunities for students to
succeed. I do this by:
- encouraging
student/teacher and student/student interaction
- providing
rich rapid feedback to students
- developing
assignments that require critical thinking
- providing
materials to aid the students with their assignments
- utilizing
technology as it enhances the learning experience
- providing
assessment tools that can be used by both student and instructor
