Why I teach

I enjoy cultivating a “community” in or out of the traditional classroom wherein a wide range of diverse personality and learning styles are maintained, supported and challenged, providing learners with a wide range of learning opportunities. All education is about several critical things, necessary for the continuance of the human species: growth, change, perspective-taking, understand, and greater awareness. For me, teaching is one venue and one domain in which all of these occur, often simultaneously.

Favorite Book

Too many and too varied to mention. I’ve a long list, which I add to each and every year.

Favorite Movie

Same as above, a constantly evolving list.

Best part of being at SVC

The intimacy of the teaching/learning experience. Small classes, a minimum of bureaucracy, an opportunity to truly impact on students, and the possibility of developing and designing new curricula and learning opportunities, both formal and informal.
