He masters the subject, has developed an innovative approach using active methodologies, establishing a dialogue that promotes a dialogical relationship between teaching and learning. He brings to the classroom an assessment that includes the nature of the student's error in favor of their own learning processes; he balances quantitative and qualitative aspects of assessment, offering a perspective that promotes meaningful learning.
