Teaching

PHILOSOPHY
I am an enthusiastic educator who appreciates the scientific aspect of teaching. I like to follow the evidence on what works to enrich student learning and promote educational equity. At its core, my pedagogy follows three principles: (1) students learn when they do things, (2) students learn with people they know, (3) students learn in equitable classrooms.
