My goal as a teacher is to facilitate a process that results in my students learning to think critically and use their knowledge to problem-solve. 

Excellent teachers whom I have known are those who model and embrace lifelong self-reflection and learning. My ultimate purpose is for our graduates to become ethical, competent, reflective practitioners who never doubt their abilities, but never take them for granted either.
