Emmerson Jay Philippe

 EMMERSON PHILIPPE's BIO: I am a versatile and talented educator who is a student of the learning process. My educational philosophy is based on the foundational idea that learning exists to help us understand who we are and how we fit into the world. As human beings, we learn in order to become more self-aware and self-actualized; and thus the learning process must be attuned to our individuality and differentiated to reflect that. I relish the opportunity to help different populations of students within the educational spectrum and seek to integrate the core of my educational philosophy into each lesson as an educator and Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA).
