Teaching PhilosophyKey words in my teaching philosophy: “flexible” and “developmental”.

Flexible:• “A ready capacity to adapt” in my position of coordinating information

literacy, outreach, and assessment.

• A teacher in every interaction I have – with faculty, with students in library instruction, with our ESULA members, with promotion of our services and resources, and with the continuous reflection via assessment of all the above.

• Still learning! Next steps: More involvement with social networking; discovering more about user experiences and the library

Developmental:• Teaching Perspectives Inventory – highest score is Developmental, in which

“effective teaching must be planned and conducted from the learner’s point of view” (www.one45.com/teachingperspectives/tpi_html/tpi_summaries.htm)

• Assessment for continuous cycle of improvement (example: LibQUAL+)
