Evidence-informed
What is taught should have a sound rationale: published evidence where it exists, and clearly identified professional consensus where the evidence is incomplete. Preference is not presented as proof.

Philosophy
Operationally relevant
Skills are taught with the setting in mind. Time pressure, imperfect information, limited equipment, and the job a student returns to are part of the instruction, not an afterthought.
Professionally delivered
Classes are prepared, bounded, and respectful of the student’s time and of the standards that govern a given course. Direct does not mean casual.
