Teaching

I believe that part of the defining human experience is personal growth, achievable only through learning. While learning is innate, higher order thinking, “soft-skills”, and occupation-specific processing are more efficiently developed when taught.

 

My time as a doctoral student at Michigan State University (MSU) has been a period during which I learned the most about teaching and found the spark to explore the discipline. MSU’s Graduate Certification in College Teaching ignited and focused my pedagogical learning experience. My time as an Inside Teaching MSU 2016-17 Fellow introduced me to the higher education community and its terminology. I received a 2017-18 Future Academic Scholars in Teaching (FAST) Fellowship, which prepared me to engage in the scholarship of teaching and learning (SOTL) via completion of a teaching-as-research (TAR) project. This year I am looking forward to my time as a Bailey Scholars Program (BSP) Graduate Fellow, during which I will co-convene a course in the Leadership in Integrated Learning minor, an element of the BSP. The BSP has historically been comprised of the most diverse student body in terms of race and academic major for MSU undergraduate programs. Together these experiences provided the scaffolding I needed to develop as a self-directed learner and active contributor to the higher education teaching and learning community, which will forever be influenced by and improve my experiences in the classroom.
