TEACHING

INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGY

Maintain an inclusive classroom that exposes students to multiple backgrounds, cultures, and experiences, and foster an open exchange of ideas and opinions through respectful discussion to strengthens students' ability to communicate and interact with different people and groups.

Emphasize the importance of interpersonal, relationship-building, and communication skills as loci between scientific and societal concerns; students must be effective communicators and gain real-world experience expressing their ideas, interests, opinions, and work via multiple formats and mediums.

Develop students’ intellectual capacity, critical thinking, systems thinking, and reflexivity with facilitated discussions, liberal arts curricula, experiential learning activities, and real-world case studies.

Help students recognize the scientific and societal relevance of course content via student-centered learning and peer-to-peer instruction with real-world examples that demonstrate the necessity of exploring the human elements of conservation and sustainability, which also demonstrates how complex ideas are reflected in everyday situations.​
