EVIDENCE OF TEACHING EFFECTIVENESS

OVERVIEW

 

For nearly two decades, I have centered my teaching agenda on increasing learning opportunities for all students. As an educator who grew up in a low-income and a single-parent household, I am committed to improving educational experiences for diverse student backgrounds. My teaching is not just a chance to convey knowledge and skills but also an opportunity for students to see their own untapped potential.

 

The following class evaluation is based on my Economics of Education course (Spring 2021) at the University of Missouri. The average rating is 4.71 out of 5.00, and the majority of students say that they would strongly recommend this class to other students.
