I believe in student centered learning. Children learn in different ways and at different times. Although I am an English major, I am very interested in Special Education. There are untapped fields of study there that I think educators should explore. Children learn by doing, and I think they should be given the opportunity to do and think in the classroom.
Lecture is important, but discussion is even more important.
Students should be able to express what they are thinking in class, and to be comfortable with the feedback they receive from other students and the teacher. Teaching is an educational and emotional responsibility, and I take it very seriously.
