Teaching Strategies 

​

• Active Learning- highly effective in developing higher cognitive skills such as critical thinking and problem solving.

• Collaborative Learning- students work in small groups to accomplish a common learning goal.

• Critical Thinking- Allows students to reflect and connect information, and question what knowledge exists.

• Experiential Learning- Students perform hands on labs to form concrete experiences with patients.

• Games/Experiments/Simulations- Students are provided a web resource (Quia.com) to use interactive games to  provide a hands on learning environment.

• Humor- Creating stories, dances and raps for retention building.

• Multimedia and online learning- Students participate in a variety of online learning modalities (Elluminate, Skype, Blackboard, Evolve learning resource)

• Teaching with Cases- Case studies present students with real-life situations in which they must apply what they have learned in the classroom to real-life situations.

• Interaction/Availability- I make myself available to students 24:7 via email. I will also Skype with a group of students if necessary for clarification or test preparation.

 

Mentoring and Advising

I have enjoyed all of my opportunities to tutor and mentor students. Creating and devising a strategic plan for their education and professional career is exciting and fulfilling.

Tutor Log

As a life coach I spend the majority of my time mentoring individuals in all areas of their lives in order to live healthier and more productive lives. I often work in areas of stress reduction and nutrition with my clients and patients. The following attachments are examples of questions, surveys and followup that I would do with a typical client.
