I've been teaching for 9 yrs, at Bryn Mawr for 7 yrs and coordinating the Summer Institute for 5 yrs.
I come from a family of educators, mom, dad, brother, sister, wife.
Students and summer institute participants have been the greatest shapers of my teaching appoarch.
I teach less for what I have to say and more for what I can learn about teaching and learning. The institute and my classroom are my research, my labortory and field site.
My favorit metaphor for a classroom is that of an "Improvisational Dance" - both between students and students and teacher.
