Favorite Albert Einstein Quote	"Imagination is more important than knowledge."
Teaching Philosophy	Managing the learning process is an educator's most important responsibility. This is clearly reflected in mark Van Doren's statement: "The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery." Teachers must search for new tools to promote effective learning. Teachers must be open to new teaching methods and techniques.
