I believe upon the principle that learning is most effective and meaningful when the student and teacher contribute and take onwnership of the learning process.  I believe each is a unique individual and must be treated with respect and great care.  I believe the institutional learning environment should create a climate that allows students to be accepted for who they are, and allow them to go as far as they can achieve.  I believe the goal of education is to broaden the mind assist students how to think and educate themselves in oder to be prepared and function in society.  During my professional life I have always seeked up to date information that will help my students achieve their goals.  I will continue to do so throughout my profession.  I am always standing and willing to collaborate with my peers to help other researchers.  I believe strongly in this practice.  This is how we all continue to learn by helping others.
