NOTE: There is a reasonable hope that the materials now embedded in this webpage are relatively stable for both in person and remote versions of the class. None the less, the content of individual pages is regularly updated and hopefully improved even without COVID pushing the process. Because this be sure to refresh (the circular arrow icon at the top left of your browser toolbar) these webpages each time your visit to be sure you are viewing the most recent version. If something seems wrong or inconsistent with other information you have received in class assume that 'the webpage' is wrong and contact me at the email address at the bottom of this page. Thanks in advance for your patience and active participation. We're all in this together!
Teaching Philosophy:
I was recently reading a translation of a Taoist story and realized that it had a lot to say about my beliefs about learning and teaching. You may expect that each year I will be experimenting with new ideas and techniques that are intended to foster more successful learning experiences on your part. Work hard and keep a good attitude and all will be well.
A class is also a community. The values we share and the way we act have a remarkable impact on our experiences within the community. A number of years ago someone shared with me the 10 Principles that govern Burning Man. With very small changes they describe beautifully the kind of learning community I strive to create and foster in our classes. I hope you find these principles as empowering and positive as I do. These principles represent my desires/expectations for all of us in this community.
