I create lessons that require students to incorporate their own assets, and draw from their own cultures and interests when they are creating.

As often as possible, lessons should incorporate the real world. Getting to see that we can affect our community and environment is important for students, especially in a high school setting, which can be considered a miniature model city.

Using their unique assets and unique ways of creative expression, the class should become student centered, with me as their instructor there to show them how they can best use their own particular strengths.
