Jeff believes that we are all lifelong learners first and it is this belief that informs his teaching practice as an adult educator. He is passionate and committed to creating meaningful and challenging learning environments, supporting students as they navigate their learning journey, and providing learning opportunities for students to grow personally and professionally. Jeff recognizes that learning is also acquired informally and incidentally, and not just within a formal classroom context. His teaching practice provides opportunities for students to draw from this broad range of life experience.
