Teaching Style
I am passionate about making a difference with at-risk and dis-advantaged populations. I am a successful Exceptional Education Specialist, teacher and social worker, because I understand that real learning takes place only when information leads to transformation. It is all about relationship--establishing rapport and relevance. My mantra is "attitude determines altitude," and it is contagious.
My teaching style is everyone learns by interactive discussions and "hand on" approach which motivates student learning, while applying concepts in academics.
