Educational Background
Biography
A veteran instructor of nonformal education programs. My specialties include online and face-to-face course & curriculum development, workshop design and presentation, curriculum and program review. PhD in Curriculum and Instruction from Utah State University, with a dissertation on agricultural literacy assessment.
Teaching Interests
My teaching interests focus on student-centered curriculum and instruction, with an emphasis on empathy and professional mentoring. The courses I teach in nonformal education are developed using backwards design to ensure that the outcomes are transparent and connected directly to assessment. My instructional practices strive to ensure a safe place for personal development, professional practice, and for meeting individual student needs. To meet student needs, I use hands-on, competency-based learning activities, personal learning goals, and provide extensive feedback so that students know that failure is a part of the learning process and a positive learning outcome. All evidence-based practices that show how to improve the student-centered approach for teaching and learning are welcome in my classroom.
Research Interests
My research interests include agricultural literacy, nonformal education instruction and professional development improvement, mentoring, and gender inclusion and equity.
