Teaching Philosophy

With 27 years of teaching experience, Thrasher emphasizes the importance of the "aha" moments in learning. He states, "What I treasure most, are the many individual student 'aha' moments where something finally clicks." He believes these moments, experienced by students throughout the year, are the essence of teaching.
