How I Teach

My teaching philosophy is to do everything I can to make learning an action VERB.  I believe learning is active and dynamic!  What I have learned in my 20 plus years of teaching and speaking is a two-way process.  I need YOU to make it interesting.    I hope to create the type of learning environment that is interactive and interesting.  Therefore, I will encourage you to actively participate in the class discussions and help me make this a positive experience for us both!
