~Share something you're passionate about:
As a college professor of nearly 20 years, I am passionate about connecting theory from learning in the classroom to practical experience in the real world. The goal is to
prepare the next generation –whether those who earn a W-2 as an employee or those who provide the W-2 as a business owner, my passion is to make this handshake of knowledge with practical application by helping students learn something today that translates into the work place tomorrow.
~What are some ways you are helping to bring this forward in the world?
I am a practitioner faculty—one who specializes in bringing practical experience into the classroom to ensure student learning and application from the course objectives. The strategies I use I call Technology That Tutors—using blogs and videos to help facilitate this connection of theory into scenarios that students can identify with as they build on the tools in their professional toolbox. One of my strategies is to teach my students to think like a carpenter—to use the most effective tool for the most effective outcome.
