Motivation
Motivation
I was the first person in my family to graduate high school and get a college degree. My education provided me with a higher quality, and more rewarding lifestyle than would have been possible had I persisted in the blue collar environment in which I was raised. I am very grateful for these opportunities, cognizant of the benefits that a good educational system can provide society, and find it personally rewarding to pay these benefits forward. From this motivation I derive the following professional mission.
Professional Mission
Professional Mission
To promote social justice by increasing access to a quality education that students can successfully complete to improve the quality and productivity of their lives.
I have created the following goals to serve this mission.
Goals
Goals
Translate what is known about the science of effective learning into course and academic program design, delivery, and assessment, so that more students can successfully graduate.
Given the growing and overwhelming amount of dynamic information needed for proficiency, promote an educational approach that values critical thinking and understanding over memorization, and a lifelong just-in-time rather than a just-in-case model of learning.
Increase access to education by providing flexible course delivery mechanisms that enable place bound or working students to pursue or complete their education in a timelier way.
Provide a rich tapestry of student support services that ensure a high proportion of our students achieve the credential they set out to earn.
Create an organizational structure and entrepreneurial culture that nurtures and rewards the pursuit of excellence in our faculty and staff.
