My Philosophy
The most significant aspect of my student-centered teaching philosophy unites transformative learning with experiential exploration. I believe that a learner-centered program should promote learning that is purposeful and explorative in nature. Focussing on classroom activities that support the individual learners rather than a content or theme-driven practice is my ideal. Children are naturally inquisitive, experimental and find joy in learning and exploration. This is what I hope to promote and instil in my students and in my pedagogy.
