Teaching Experience: I teach Characteristics of Knowledge Acquisition and its Honors version. This course is an introduction to historical and contemporary theories of learning, and it explores the following questions: What constitutes learning? How is it accomplished? How do various theories view learning, and what views do the theories share? What roles do teachers and surrounding cultures play in the learning that individuals do? What role do technologies play in the way we learn?

I have also designed and taught PEL for the Educational Leadership Department. PEL focused on historical and cultural contexts of learning design.
