3. Clinton Technical School 2011 Overall Reflection My philosophy of teaching involves the caring phenomenon (Coyle-Rogers & Cramer, 2005). I believe in fostering an environment of compassion in nursing education for successful transference of this fundamental competency into practice. Trust and respect are multi-focal and require a commitment from both parties in the learning process. It is my hope and goal that my own dedication to continual improvement will be reflected in my pedagogy and overall student outcomes. Coyle-Rogers, P. & Cramer, M. (2005).
