My approach to teaching focuses on helping students develop ‘tool-kits’ of concepts, distinctions, examples, and writing skills that can help them succeed at philosophy and appreciate its value.

In 2022, I presented a poster at the APA Teaching Hub about using small group work to teach derivation strategies in Introduction to Logic courses. You can view that by clicking here.
