Experience Summary

Effective communication with students has two dimensions that can be addressed: stimulating students' interest in and engagement with the course material by making it relevant to their lives that evoke their interest and appropriately challenge them. As an instructor I am providing a student with the knowledge, concepts and skills which enhance their academic goals. How to best demonstrate these competencies will vary from individual to individual. What is important is that I consciously set out to do so, both in the selection of materials to include, and in my explanations of why and how those materials were used. For instance, articulating learning outcomes consistent with how students learn.

Teaching Style

My philosophy does not guarantee that individuals will be better thinkers or students, but I believe it provides a valuable base to help them think more clearly. It has always involved both the world of ideas (theory) and the world of practical activity (real-world scenarios), resulting in an integration of good ideas (theory) that can lead to good practices (real-world scenarios), and good practices that can lead to good ideas. It’s designed around a framework - a methodology for keeping on track and maintaining responsibility to protect the institution, the students, fellow colleagues, and the community. It’s a code - intended to clarify my mission, values and principles linking them with standards of professional conduct.
