Teaching Philosophy

Tangible exploration fosters a connection to materials and objects, thereby reinforcing exploration of various ideas, issues and narratives. Discussion organically develops through this method of investigation and deduction, and is a mode of learning that I have found to be consistently effective and enjoyed by students. The classroom is always a safe space for experimentation and contemplation. Trial and error is encouraged. Positive reinforcement and a nurturing environment are cornerstones to my pedagogical approach. Students are encouraged to be kind and supportive of one another, and to respect the different ways we all see and engage with the world.
