Our Teaching Philosophy
Our professional development teaching philosophy centers on the principles of inclusivity, continuous learning, and empowerment.
Inclusivity: We believe that every learner brings a unique perspective and set of experiences to the learning environment. To foster an inclusive atmosphere, we aim to create a safe, respectful, and diverse space where all voices are heard and valued. This includes recognizing and addressing individual learning needs and adapting our teaching methods to accommodate various learning styles and abilities.
Continuous Learning: Education is a lifelong journey, and we see our role as a facilitator of this process. We are committed to staying current in our field and continually improving our teaching methods. We encourage students to embrace a growth mindset, nurturing their curiosity and empowering them to take ownership of their professional development.
Empowerment: We view our role as not only imparting knowledge but also inspiring and empowering learners. We aim to provide the tools, resources, and guidance necessary for individuals to take control of their own growth and development. By fostering self-confidence and a sense of agency, we aim to equip my students to tackle new challenges and reach their full potential.

"The Inclusion Firm was very helpful in working with our Alumni Board to jumpstart a renewed commitment.
As a Canadian client, The Inclusion Firm went above and beyond to incorporate relevant Canadian context and resources in our sessions and worked diligently with us and our board to set us up for future success. The expertise and relevant experience of our consultants within advancement was evident and critical in designing the right process and quality touchpoints for our volunteers. Their contributions were valuable to our ongoing journey of learning and progress, as was their flexibility and ability to address any concerns that came up. It was a pleasure working and collaborating with the Inclusion Firm."
