Classroom Teaching Strategies
I have taught all levels from early childhood education to adult and higher education. Through my years of educating others, I have found that everyone can view the world of science with wonder (as I do).
My goal is to facilitate understanding for every person who desires to learn a concept in my classroom. I use a variety of methods to reach various learning styles and am skilled in making tough concepts digestible for most audiences. I find joy in the art of engaging audiences and making even the driest of material somewhat entertaining. If a student leaves my classroom with no new knowledge, I see it as a failure on my part as an educator.
Educational equity and creating an inclusive classroom environment is my mission as an educator. I am a first generation college graduate and am the granddaughter of an immigrant. It is my responsibility as an educator to understand the difficulties encountered by historically underrepresented groups in the educational setting and help students navigate obstacles on their educational journey.
