In my chosen profession, information technology, continual learning is crucial to sustainability. My 20+ years of experience positions me to be able to help students to become critical thinkers who ask questions from a place of curiosity and create a philosophy of always wanting to learn and grow professionally and personally. My hope is that while students glean knowledge through their course work, they will simultaneously grasp the material and apply that knowledge in the practice and principle of their chosen field. Staying up to date on information technology is crucial to success. My goal is ensure my students comprehend the understanding of information technology practices so they have the ability to secure their environments and have the capacity to secure systems and data. Information technology is a constantly evolving industry that is continuously changing and gaining a firm education on the procedures and processes will enable students to be successful in the workforce. I believe the formal education process is the catalyst for individuals to become critical thinkers and lifelong learners. Through education, individuals of all ages and backgrounds, including myself, can learn and gain a wealth of knowledge that will drive them to success.A good instructor takes the time to ensure students fully understand the concepts and have the ability to apply it to real world situations. In the classroom, I maintain focus, provide guidance, engage students, and keep order to provide students with knowledge that they will maintain giving them a firm understanding of the course concepts. To create an engaged learning environment, the key is interaction. This requires participation on their part and will keep them thinking on how they are contributing to the course/classroom. While instructing, I create lessons that are relevant to each student by listening to the interests, hopes, and dreams. My goal is to get students motivated to the extent that they are still thinking about subject matter outside of the classroom. I believe in the ability for each student to make major contributions to a class, based upon their own life, professional and educational experiences. I utilize teaching methods such as engaging in student discussions, targeting individual interests, and using motivational interviewing to encourage ideas and open exchanges of ideas. This creates a customized educational experience that is dynamic and specific with each course and group to students. My challenge for each student I teach is to leave my classroom better than when they entered and knowing I can have that positive change in someones life is what inspires me to teach.
