نبذة تعريفية / مختصر السيرة الذاتية

My main objective as a teacher is to help the students learn and grow while fostering their own creativity and curiosity. Giving the students the motivation to learn, open up their minds to new ideas, and let them explore these ideas on their own. In addition helping them to learn by teaching them traditional curriculum in a non-traditional, more hands on way
Goal number one for me is to educate the students to learn the material of my courses in a permanent, long-lasting way. I want them to be able to apply what they learned in actual situation. I view teaching as a sort of optimization problem: Given the limited amount of time and energy that I can devote to any class, how can I use these resources most effectively to get the maximum possible learning out of my students as a whole

A part of this is making my classes enjoyable and interesting, inspiring the students, to change their lives, so that they discover different life paths that they had never considered before and to revolutionize the practice of Periodontics. Too often, the practice of Periodontics is viewed as a boring specialty to be practiced and mastered by new graduate.

Trust. Cooperation. Support. Mutual Respect. These are the four fundamental features of the optimal learning environment that allow me to make connections with and for my students. The key contribution I make as an undergraduate educationalist is the innovative teaching technique I have been fortunate to share with my students and colleagues throughout the academic years.

The innovative teaching technique to which I refer is an adaptation of Team Learning, which employs student-centered, experiential, collaborative learning groups. My goals
in using a team learning approach include the following: To expose the students to new ideas—making them responsible and accountable for their learning; To impart new skills and generate some excitement on their part, motivating them to master the material; To illustrate new ideas and develop skills by analyzing as many interesting comprehensive cases as possible; To give the students a framework for following up on new ideas and skills, either on their own or in subsequent course work; To engage the students with the course material so that they understand the theory and principles behind each concept, and then challenge the students to process and apply their new knowledge.

I encourage increased outside contact between my students and me. The Team Learning instructional methodology promotes active learning techniques and helps to develop reciprocity and cooperation among students while allowing me to provide students with frequent opportunities to apply what they have learned and to receive feedback on their learning progress.
