This has been my philosophy for my life, and I have tried to instill this principle in my classroom. John is extremely competent in his area of study. He is always there for extra help and this past semester provided an extra study session for his students when he took three hours out of his personal time every week to help us. Mr. Muench is a very personable, empathic, patient instructor and above all, an excellent person. I believe that education is the apprenticeship of life.
Education is a debt due from the present to future generations.
As an educator, I strive to lead by example and seek to install in my students the values of lifelong learning, independent and critical thinking, a strong work ethic, devotion to one's work, a respect for cultural diversity, and a spirit of service. I have realized that for students to be successful in the 21st century, they need to be lifelong learners. Helping them to develop the skills necessary to become lifelong learners requires a different approach to teaching and learning.

On a personal level, education is a lifelong adventure which, ideally, is inclusive of many fields of learning.
