 Teaching Philosophy
For the past few years I have experimented with the use of cooperative learning groups in each class I teach. I am convinced that the appropriate blend of some lecture and constant cooperative student groups provide the best learning environment for the student. An inquiry based classroom is an essential ingredient for the development of a constructivist student, an aggressive, sharing learner.
