“Learning is experiential. My classrooms focus on understanding why something is important by focusing on the real-world application of what is being taught. We break down principles and theories to outline and detail why they are important to learn. The classroom involves hands-on learning about real cases and real victims. Students in my classroom learn together and feed off of each other’s insights as the classes progress.”
