Course Overview & Teaching Approach

Dear students,

Welcome!

I'm excited to guide you through our learning journey this year. Below is an overview of how our classes will work, what you can expect, and how we will learn together across different subjects.

#General Teaching Philosophy

My approach to teaching is based on three key principles:

1. Active Learning: You will not just listen—you will participate, discuss, create, and reflect.

2. Growth Mindset: Mistakes are part of learning. Effort and curiosity matter more than perfection.

3. Respect & Inclusion: Every student's voice matters. We learn from each other.
