I believe that in order to develop my teaching skills, it is critical to reflect on my teaching goals, the methods I use to achieve them, and the efficacy of those methods. Below I have developed four major sections addressing my teaching experience:
Course Design and Planning focuses on courses that I have developed and my approach to both introductory and advanced courses.
Assessing Student Learning focuses on how I design assignments and assessments to promote student learning.
Evaluating Effective Teaching focuses on my reflections on the process of teaching and how I use evaluations to improve my teaching.
Scholarship of Teaching and Learning focuses on the research I conduct in order to improve my teaching.
Finally, Teaching in Practice highlights the courses that I've assisted in teaching and how I put into practice some of the techniques described in other sections.
The core of my teaching practice is based on two interwoven themes: scientific literacy and effective communication. My teaching approach focuses on helping students to develop critical thinking skills, such as formulating questions, generating ideas, integrating new knowledge into a conceptual framework, and then demonstrating their mastery of the concept through oral and written communication. I aim to model these skills for students through my teaching in order to facilitate their development from student to teacher.
