A passion for lifelong learning, and desire to help others tap into their own potential
Cross-cultural perspectives for learners, based on numerous personal/professional encounters
Media literacy concepts and practices suitable across curricula for all ages

TEACHING APPROACH

Interdisciplinary - practices that show interconnections across fields of knowledge
Media Literate - concepts and practices to reveal how and why knowledge is constructed
Experiential - group work in classrooms and field trips with follow up assignments
Holistic - group activities and assignments to engage intellect, feelings, body and spirit
Environmentally Grounded - open learners' awareness to interrelationships with planetary life
Intercultural - deepen awareness about human family and our local/global interconnectedness
Transformative - ultimately deepen and expand consciousness of each learner

As a lifelong learner, further areas that I continue to study and instill in my teaching include: neuroscience, quantum physics, perennial wisdom, energy medicine, and how storytelling through history relates to psychological insights about the evolution of human consciousness.
