Teaching philosophy
Lisa believes that having a welcoming and safe environment is critical for optimal learning. Additionally, she believes that people can learn from one another’s experiences and perspectives. As such, she aims to create a safe space in which individuals can actively participate and share in the learning experience.
Furthermore, learning should be both fun and meaningful. Lisa tries to include a multitude of learning strategies including the use of reflections and the arts, as well as case studies and clinical examples to exemplify the link to practice.
Biography
