I believe that interior design is best served by a formative professional education, the core purpose of which is to shape students into practitioners who are conscientious and thorough, and decidedly passionate, in their work. I am reflective and purposeful in my teaching, starting from a philosophy grounded in theories of constructivism and active learning. Active learning, in the broad sense, shifts the focus of activity from the teacher to the learner. This student-centered approach suggests the use of multi-modal learning – listening, reading, writing, discussing, and problem-solving – and higher- order thinking tasks such as analysis, synthesis and criticism.
