Respiratory Therapy Education Philosophy Statement
The role of the faculty in the East Los Angeles College Respiratory Therapy Program is to foster a positive learning environment by acting as a facilitator for learning. Teaching is an interactive process that enhances learning for the student/learner. The instructor provides the learner with resources, integrity, and guidance to facilitate learning and the student is expected to be an active participant in the teaching-learning process and is accountable for his or her own learning.
