Teaching

I am teaching two sections of Integrated STEM and Teaching Mathematics this semester (Fall 2026) at Troy University.

EDU 3308: Integrated STEM

Semester: Fall

Offered: 2026

From Troy’s catalog: “Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) literacy is a critical component of 21st century education. The central tenet of STEM literacy is the preparation of people who are knowledgeable of the connections between the content and practices of the STEM fields. This course will foster students’ abilities to teach in an integrative way through real-world design-based problems that both stimulate and teach students to think critically.”

Projects include building and testing catapults, parachutes that hold eggs, marble roller coasters, and conducting a research project at the Troy University Arboretum.

ELE 3362: Teaching Mathematics

Semester: Fall

Offered: 2026

From Troy’s catalog: “This course provides a study of the varied dimensions of instruction in mathematics, including young children’s logico-mathematical knowledge. Emphasis is placed on appropriate instruction and resources, including technology for the instruction of students in grades PK-6.”

Projects include creating, administering, and analyzing a mathematics assessment for elementary students, critiquing and comparing math apps, designing a tech-free math game, and using math journals to document mathematical thinking!
