TEACHING |
|
A commitment to teaching is a commitment to being a lifelong learner. As an instructor, lifelong goes beyond being up to date on course subject matter. Lifelong learning involves learning (1) through students diverse experiences and viewpoints; (2) about different methods to meet students differing learning styles; (3) about how one's biases infiltrate how and what one teaches; (4) to be open to critique; (5) to adjust to the personality of each class. Dr. Fleary's approach to teaching is shaped by her commitment to being a lifelong learner, her experiences as a student, and her clinical experiences.
