Observations & Recommendations
Here you will find professional classroom observations and student recommendations attesting to my classroom culture and my abilities as an educator. As my statement indicates, I believe in utilizing authentic engagement and participation to promote inclusivity within the classroom.
"This active discussion continued throughout the presentation, and I want to compliment you on pushing them to uncover their own assumptions (about gender, about marital status, about age, nationality, ethical standing, etc.) as they moved through their discussions."
"Sarah displayed supreme confidence as a teacher. She helped her students come to their own conclusions, and she also helped explain key concepts when needed. Her class was an equal balance of group work, partner work, discussion, and lecture."
"As a business major, I imagined that taking an English based class would be something I just had to suffer through so that I could graduate on time. However, due to Sarah’s enthusiasm and creative lessons this ended up being my favorite class of the semester."
