Teaching Philosophy

My name is Heather Pieropan. I grew up in a military family during the Vietnam War era living all over the United States and overseas. As a result, I was able to develop strong leadership skills and discipline that has carried over into my adult life.
I believe it is my responsibility as an instructor to provide you with an environment conducive to learning, knowledge that will help you be successful in the goals; opportunities and feedback that will help you learn, become and remain motivated to be successful in your future courses.
My students will have the opportunity to learn and gain expertise to take responsibility for becoming a responsible gun owner and become empowered by their own learning and skills development.
Since I teach several different courses that span four different areas, I provide more detailed information of how my teaching philosophy relates to what and how I do things in each individual course.
