Teaching Philosophy:

"Urging all of us to open our minds and hearts so that we can know beyond the boundaries of what is acceptable, so that we can think and rethink, so that we can create new visions, I celebrate teaching that enables transgressions--a movement against and beyond boundaries. It is that movement which makes education the practice of freedom."

- Bell Hooks, (1994)

Teaching Philosophy Implementation:

	Cultivate learning interest - make learning an exploratory journey full of excitement
	Encourage thinking - not only ask questions but also induce question asking
	Base on real world practices - teach how to solve problems using methods used in the real world
	Create a participatory environment - form a learning community, articulate collaborative learning
