My philosophy on student learning is that every student can learn when given the chance. I like to use student centered approach to learning which includes labs, activities, and research that student create. The strategies to accomplish this include: The Question Formulation Technique (QFT), Project Based Learning (PBL), and Standard Based Grading (SBG). These get students thinking, creating and problem solving which are critical skills for life.
