Recognizing that students come to class with rich and varied backgrounds and experiences, my goal is to create a teaching space that allows them to draw upon their strengths to sharpen their critical thinking skills in evaluating public health programs. By providing them with opportunities to practice concrete skills and allowing for candid discussions, all students will be able to engage in meaningful learning. Learning should be fun and a supportive environment that reflects real-world situations will help best prepare the next generation of practitioners. I encourage students to ask questions, make mistakes and learn from each other. There are no “wrong” or “stupid” questions—just occasions to gain more information!
