Our approach not only involves encouraging and challenging our students, but also giving them every opportunity to pursue their own individual interests. As research-based educators, we are committed to helping students understand more complex phenomena and acquire hands-on skills. As a result, our classroom instruction embraces principles that include engaging students in reading complex materials, designing interactive and stimulating content, offering feedback, learning through trial-and-error, as well as taking advantage of synergies across education, professional practice, and research. We also strive to create and pilot new instructional formats and teaching practices.

Students appreciate and acknowledge our approach.
