Teaching Philosophy
Professor Grabel believes that a hands on approach to education can be a very valuable experience. The opportunity to work in close proximity with students can be extremely rewarding for both the student and the educator. An education should be well rounded. The most important facet of teaching is connecting with the students. The opportunity to tap into potential and help guide someone, as they prepare for life, is why Grabel loves teaching.
