Etienne's Educational Philosophy

Welcome graphic

Education raises mankind to its highest level of dignity. With that thought in mind, my desire is to devote my resourceful teaching professionalism to help develop students’ cognitive and social growth. Learning styles are as various and different as tastes; therefore, it is fundamental to diversify the means of transferring learning, using the most accurate curriculum available, the latest development of technology, and all the proven teaching tools, such as probing, questioning according to the Bloom’s taxonomy, giving performance-oriented, and information-oriented feedback, teacher mentoring, aligning the students’ interests with potential career opportunity in order to inspire the students to take the right direction regarding their future career or field of study, involving in community-oriented activities in order to transcend the barriers of cultures, race, and beliefs. It is true that teaching requires a strong passion and strong intrinsic motivation, because the extrinsic motivation only would not compensate the difficulties that are on the way. The world is a vast construction site and it takes the efforts of everyone to build the future; my greatest intrinsic motivation is to know that I make a difference in a student’s life!
