Anne Mancl

"Teaching is about helping others grow in a way that is meaningful, motivational and nurturing. Good teaching is a creative balance between theory and practice, passion and reason. Effective teaching involves staying current in your field, helping students make applications to their own lives and devoting time to developing the talents of each learner."
