Tammany Ryals

When asked about her teaching philosophy, she responded:

My teaching philosophy involves building a relationship with my students. I believe you have to get to know your students on a personal basis. Once you build the relationship and they know you genuinely care about them, it makes teaching easier. I like to make my students think by asking “Why?” and “What if?” I also make things relevant to the real world for them. When they can connect what happened in the 1800s to what is going on in the world today, it helps them understand the importance.
