Proudest teaching moment: “Teaching offers the most awe-inspiring incidents in life, a kaleidoscope of students and learning: the never-ending opportunity to touch young people; to be a part of their hope, accomplishment, success, future; to learn with them and from them. If one student says, “I remember once my LA teaching said…” or opens a book because of my class, I am proud.”
Teaching Philosophy: “Create students, not young people who regurgitate facts, by setting the bar high enough for challenge; provide the skills and knowledge to get over it successfully…whatever it takes.”
Toughest challenge facing educators: “Our biggest challenge is not to get lost in technology; to keep the excitement, the wonder, the joy in learning; to experience the thrill of the face-to-face exchange of ideas; to know the comfortable enjoyment of an open book, the feel of paper, pencils, crayons; to keep it personal, eye-to-eye, hand-to-hand, voice-to-voice.”
