My overall goal as a teacher is for students to complete their courses with a feeling of success and a positive, open-minded, curious attitude towards further study. If I can effectively remove some of the performance anxiety and instill a sense of pleasure in the processes of learning, then I will feel that I have been successful. Ultimately, I hope to foster a sense of ownership in the writing process and for students to nurture and understand their writing identities.
