Personal Teaching Style.
A book I read a while ago -- Teaching with Love and Logic” has greatly influenced my teaching. I see my students as young people who are capable of great things. I learn from them each day.
How I integrate my faith and Catholic values into my teaching:
My teaching is infused with literature discussions focusing on social justice. I teach tolerance, anti-violence, and the negative effects of racism and poverty.
