Brief Teaching Philosophy Statement
My general teaching philosophy is to remove as many barriers to learning as possible while making my classroom environment a welcoming and fun place to learn agricultural economics. By developing classroom relationships, structuring my course in an effective manner, providing value added information in the classroom, communicating effectively, and assessing my students in a supportive environment I can remove many barriers and allow my students to truly engage with our content.
