My teaching philosophy
I realize I haven’t written in a while, but several things have been going on. I am now teaching a night class at the Art Institute of Dallas. The class is web development for graphic design. So far I’m enjoying the time I spend teaching.
My wife is a teacher as well and I’ve heard several teacher-like statements from her, so now it’s my turn to espouse my teaching philosophy.
I teach the way that I wish I was taught.

Not a very long philosophy, huh? I think we all have these same feelings about parenting: “When I grow up and have kids, I’m never going to make them do ____.” I’m serious though. I teach the way I learned best. I show examples I think are relevant and helped me. I guess a teacher is nothing more than a knowledge aggregator.
