Involve me and I learn.” Benjamin Franklin\"Knowledge feeds their minds but learning feeds the heart. Learning becomes “fun”damental. If my learners are laughing with me, then they are listening and paying attention at the least, and probably retaining something practical that they can integrate to their frame of reference.\"- Elsa ClamohoyA SAMPLE OF MY TEACHING PHILOSOPHYI see myself as a facilitator, a mediator between knowledge and learning, or a travel guide, if you will, assisting people along the path of learning. This constructivist approach is what have garnered me positive student evaluations that states, “I like how you teach” or “you’re a great teacher” with the students not knowing the elements of how they are being taught yet only knowing that they are engaged learners and knowing that I have created a supportive learning environment or classroom with them.Specialties: – Integrate Hershey and Blanchard situational leadership model and Tuckman’s model of group development in classroom management and work teams- Apply system thinking approach to program development and coordination, problem solving and closing gaps in service delivery challenges- Dealing with Difficult People: When you point at someone as being difficult remember that three fingers are pointing back at you. Find out how you are as difficult as the other person. Since the only person that we can change is yourself, then once you understand this, I can teach and coach you how to harness this locus of control which then leads to influencing change in others.
