Biography
Bibiana’s teaching, research, and scholarship are informed by her experience with children, youth, and families as both an educator and a clinician. She has extensive clinical experience in regular and special education schools, community and hospital-based outpatient clinics, and residential settings. She has also lived and taught overseas in China, Korea, Morocco, and Laos.
Bibiana believes that education should be a transformational learning experience what bell hooks (1994) calls engaged pedagogy. As an educator, her primary goal is to facilitate students learning processes vis-a-vis engaged pedagogy. By creating an intellectually safe and open classroom environment, she believes learners are more likely to take educational risks, to engage in critical thinking, and to participate in a collaborative, co-constructed learning process.
