Briefly, as both a graduate student and as a part-time faculty member at Western Michigan University I have taught a variety of classes.

For example, I have taught English 4800. Eng 4800 is the required methods course for secondary language arts teachers at W.M.U. This class relies heavily on critical pedagogy.

In addition, I have taught Ed Studies 2000. This course serves as a cornerstone to the secondary education program, allowing students to obtain an overview of the nature of public schooling in the United States. In addition, this course will allow students to explore the education profession to help them make informed decisions about teaching as a career choice.

Similar in nature, I have regularly taught a class called Ed Studies 3950. This is a required course for all teachers, secondary and elementary. The class focuses on social, policial, and historic questions related to the education enterprise.

I have also taught the First-Year Seminar. The First-Year Seminar is a course designed for a student's first semester at WMU. The seminar is intended to provide an intellectual and social transition into Western Michigan University under the guidance of a faculty/staff facilitator and an upper class student leader. The First-Year Seminar addresses different educational criteria but primarily focuses on the habits of learning success.

Further, I have taught English 1050, a freshman composition course.

Lastly, I have experience teaching graduate-level courses, specifically ES 6330. In the course, prominent views of human nature and diversity that have influenced the course of American schooling are examined. Essentially, the course provides a basis for ongoing professional inquiry concerning the fit between educational practices and the diverse needs of those subject to them, and the way educational practices tacitly inculcate cultural assumptions regarding human nature, interests, and potential.

Of note, I have also developed curriculum for a class that focuses on young adult novels and cultural studies. It is called Social Justice & Adolescent Literature. The class relies on cultural studies theory as a means of connecting young adult literature to students' lives.
