Quote

My philosophy of education places student learning above all else. My primary focus in teaching is to actively engage students in the learning process in a student-centered learning environment. Teaching is a process of enabling students to teach themselves, thus becoming active participants in their own education and being partners in the learning process. I believe that students learn best through an interactive teaching style that demands their participation and challenges their abilities by designing hands-on experiences that relate to real life problems and situations of interest." — Cathy Pocernich
