Biography
Excellent teaching is, to me, an endeavor requiring finesse, wisdom, and skill along with deep empathy for students. An excellent teacher provides a blend of knowledge, clarity, depth, resources, and entertainment. An excellent teacher creates and implements a learning environment filled with insight, inspiration, hope, and chain reactions of spontaneous understanding that integrate smoothly with other domains of knowledge. In addition, an excellent teacher trains students in critical thinking, examining the assumptions and presuppositions of knowledge, the metacognitive aspects of knowledge, different modes of knowing, and the foundations and nature of knowledge itself. Of course, this includes the ability to reframe knowledge to fit the multiple perspectives of diversity, including the contexts of race, multiculturalism, gender, LGBTQ, ability, and age
