My Philosophy of Education

Teaching is the noblest of professions. Our work is the only work that seeks the advancement of the individual. We are mentors, parents, social workers, counselors, and etc. In short, teachers are in a profession that is asked to be many things for a diverse public. Those who take up the mantle of teaching must desire lifelong learning experiences which are used to continually adapt instruction to meet the needs of one’s students. Learning is life. Learning is questioning, genuine, seeking, and changing. We learn from each other and grow from the experiences we share. This anonymous quote summarizes my philosophy, “He who ceases to learn cannot adequately teach.”

Tarleton is a special place full of tradition. Come and visit us. I am an assistant professor at Tarleton State University, and I prepare future educators for the classroom of the 21st CENTURY. For the last seven years, Tarleton has been my home. I have taught children for 20 years in various content areas. I love to find people who are serious about teaching and learning. Come join us...
