Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working with junior students in various educational settings, from one-on-one mentoring to large classroom lectures. These experiences have taught me the importance of fostering independence and engagement in students of all backgrounds.
Learning as a Process: prioritizes developing students' critical thinking and problem-solving skills by shifting their focus from rote memorization to understanding how to explore and answer questions
Active Learning: group work, discussions, and real-time interactive tools are essential for engagement, incorporate activities that encourage collaboration, self-reflection, and peer teaching to build both academic knowledge and teamwork skills
Frequent Assessment: regular opportunities for students and the instructor to assess learning progress, such as the "teach back" strategy, quizzes, and classroom response systems to ensure effective teaching and identify areas for improvement
Inclusivity and Empowerment: creating an inclusive learning environment where students feel valued and supported, address diverse needs, ensure a sense of belonging, and emphasize student well-being alongside academic goals
