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. |
|
Technology Philosophy |
The Hospitality industry is quickly becoming automated, making it imperative for a person wishing to enter the hospitality industry to be trained to deal with a pioneering and ever-changing industry. As in other types of industry, manpower is being replaced daily by machine power and the only people who will survive in an automated society are those who are familiar with the technology propelling it forward. But it is wise to remember that, as useful as sophisticated computer systems are, the hospitality industry is first and foremost a people business. A computer cannot replace the warmth and personal attention from a well-trained employee. |
