My Teaching Philosophy

My teaching philosophy initially was shaped by experiences among spiritually traditional, land-based Aboriginal people (First Nation, Metis and Inuit) in North America, during travels across Canada from the Yukon to Baffin Island. Aboriginal people bestowed upon me an appreciation of human interconnection with a spiritual dimension and also the imperative of human responsibility to learn about our interrelationships with all earthly life, on whom we depend for our life support system.
