Teaching Pedagogy

​

I enjoy collaborating with students on the learning process, and I expect students to be active learners (vs. passive recipients) during class. I facilitate discussion and interactive learning experiences that help students reflect on cultural diversity, resilience, and clinical psychology. I want students to leave class with ideas for how to apply their knowledge and act in ways that positively impact child, family, and community wellness.

​

My teaching goals for students include:

  1. Develop critical thinking skills.

  2. Enjoy the leaning process.

  3. Become motivated to act on insights outside of the classroom.
