Educational Philosophy
His educational philosophy is to facilitate pre-service and in-service English language educators (ELEs)in becoming more apt to form valid, reliable, and unbiased arguments, provide innovative solutions to real-life problems, make decisions that resolve cognitive conflict by developing understandings through a difference of opinion or perspective, and create innovative ways of communicating with others. His role is to move ELEs from being dependent, to independent, to interdependent individuals who are not afraid to take chances, share their successes and failures with others, and are concerned for the well-being of not only themselves, but for others as well. His goal is to help others become more daring, sharing, and caring ELEs teachers who support interactive language learning.
