My teaching philosophy adheres to the purposes of encouraging students to respect ideas and their free expression, and to rejoice in discovery and in critical thought; to pursue excellence in a spirit of productive cooperation; and to assume responsibility for the consequences of personal actions.  I seek to identify and to remove restraints on students' full participation, so that individuals may explore their capabilities and interests and may develop their full  intellectual and human potential.  I believe an education should liberate students to explore, to create, to challenge, and to lead.  The support I want to provide is the foundation upon which self-reliance and habits of lifelong learning are built:  I expect that the scholarship and collegiality I foster in my students will lead them in their later lives to advance knowledge, to promote understanding, and to serve society.   January 2000
