Justin says, “Aspire to inspire; my educational philosophy falls into positive education, inclusive education, and fostering students’ 21st-century skills.” Teaching is not just instructing; I encourage my students to enquire, reflect, and build on their knowledge. I am willing to see them be inspired and inspire others. I incorporate the latest educational philosophy from academia into real teaching practice, employing CLT, TBLT, PBL, inquiry-based learning, and educational technologies to provide students with great learning experiences.”
