My teaching philosophy encourages students from different backgrounds to learn and understand the significant role that arts play in their lives. I enjoy working with students; examining topics from different perspectives and encouraging students to work together as a team, and students' active inquiry. I look forward to teaching each day and fully enjoy learning together with students I have in classes and in museums.
My teaching experiences include:
- curriculum development and implementation of instructional technology especially in museum and non-school settings;
- educational practices in nontraditional environments;
- issues in current museum education with a focus on hands-on and free choice learning;
- media technology in exhibit planning and development,
- curriculum integration of current instructional technologies including multimedia, distance education and web-based instruction, and
- research methods.
I am also teaching art appreciation, introduction to art education and museum education, contemporary issues in art, and approaches in art education and other art education classes relevant to the curriculum.
