Teaching Philosophy (In Part)
The main idea concerning the Pygmalion Effect is that if you believe that someone is capable of achieving greatness, then that person will indeed achieve greatness. In other words, believing in potential simply creates potential. I apply this thought process to the classroom atmosphere and students that I instruct. With that being said I expect nothing less than 100% from my students and I also in turn give nothing less than 100% as an instructor.
Expectations of my students from me and of me are very high and very achievable. My students are aware from the first day of the course what is expected of them and are vigorously motivated, encouraged and pressed to put their best foot forward at all times.
