Philosophy
My teaching philosophy centers on the role of the learning facilitator as opposed
to the lecturer. I have found it necessary as a course faculty to provide activities
which make learning meaningful and enjoyable. I fully believe that the more engaged
the faculty member is in learning activities, the more engaged the student will be
in their participation. In addition to planning appropriate learning activities, I
believe that being active in clinical practice gives me experiences that further enhance
my teaching. I have practices in pediatrics and pediatric oncology for the entirety
of my nursing career and I maintain a part-time practice at The Children’s Hospital
of Philadelphia (CHOP). This results in a mutually beneficial learning experience
for all of the students and the faculty.
