Welcome to my online teaching portfolio. Here you can learn a bit about how I conceptualize and approach teaching environmental studies and English courses. While you can view the portfolio’s contents in any order, I recommend beginning with my statement of teaching philosophy and summary of teaching responsibilities. These documents outline the core tenets of my teaching practice. The other materials (activities, student feedback, course syllabi, and course proposals) are animated by and reflect the ideas presented in the statement of teaching philosophy.

This cirrus cloud shows the 25 most frequently used words in my 2011-2014 environmental studies end of term course evaluations. Specifically, my department asks students to write “three words most descriptive of this instructor’s teaching.” The top five: Interesting (37), Fun (28), Informative (25), Helpful (22), Engaging (15)
