Meet the Teaching and Learning Team

The faculty believe that perspective gives meaning to the intellectual and practical elements of curriculum and instruction and that these must be explored with students for their underlying assumptions, and for their relative strengths and weaknesses. The theoretical and practical paradigms that shape American education are explored for their implications in today's increasingly global classroom.
