There are so many different students with various interests from different backgrounds and cultures. It really makes it interesting to teach them because you learn as much from them as they learn from you. According to Lamfalusi, her most memorable moment at Woodward came when valedictorian and presidential scholar, Angela Wu 95, named her most influential teacher. Her teaching experience at Woodward has been enhanced by the genuine academic freedom. It s nice to work with a faculty and administration that is flexible enough to let teachers be creative in their approach to education, yet be rigid enough to have high standards, says Lamfalusi.
Students learn in so many different ways.
It s fortunate that Woodward allows each teacher enough personal innovation to reach each student. Since she began teaching at Woodward, Lamfalusi remarks that the general expansion of both the student body and campus has been the most significant change that she s noticed. Enrollment has increased dramatically and the newly completed Centennial projects have given the campus an improved look, says Lamfalusi. Despite its growth Woodward still retains its intimacy. It grew and matured rather than spreading out and losing its personality.
