I see my role more as a facilitator and less as a source of knowledge. It is my goal to see my students leave the program with not only the ability to articulate ideas eloquently and imaginatively, but to ensure they are equipped with the vast array of abilities needed for today’s designer (which typically are not understood by those who begin the designers path). These skills include strategic thinking, collaboration, design research methodologies, ideation techniques, concept development, presentation and marketing acumen, system theories, data management, project management, and the list can go on.
In the end it is the student who is his or her own teacher. Education does not begin and end in the classroom—it is a life-long process. Those who master the art of self –learning and find passion in the journey are those who will ultimately succeed in any respective endeavor.
I tap into Plutarch’s notion:
" the student’s mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled."
Here's my teaching philosophy, now a bit weathered and dusty, but nonetheless, still alive.
