PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:

Gardner-Webb University, Boiling Springs, North Carolina

2007-present: Assistant Professor and Program Coordinator of English Education Responsibilities include supervising, advising, and teaching all undergraduate and graduate Secondary English Education majors and respective courses associated with these programs. Using social constructionist, critical, and multimodal pedagogical approaches, the candidate has experience teaching the following courses:

English Teacher as Researcher (ENED 690/691/692): This six-hour, three course series provides graduate English education students, who are also inservice teachers, the opportunity to conduct a research study within the context of their classrooms. With a focus on qualitative methodology, teachers examine their classroom through a critical lens and are challenged to develop research questions and a research study that will inform their work as English educators and the field in general.

Methods of Teaching English (ENED 681/ENGL 481): The undergraduate methods course focuses on developing students’ philosophical and pedagogical foundations for their future classroom experiences. The graduate course continues this development while also problematizing current issues in their own teaching as well as the field of English education in general through research assignments. Both courses explore teaching in the 21st Century and strongly emphasize technology, composing through digital media, and multimodal literacies.

Teaching of Writing (ENGL 483/683): The purpose of this course is to give undergraduate and graduate students from many diverse academic programs an overview of the most highly regarded theories of and research on the teaching of writing—including information about writing processes and rhetorical considerations resulting from variations in audience, purpose, and modality—and to see how those theories work in practice by applying them in their own writing and examining their own composing processes. There is a heavy emphasis on social epistemic composition theories and the effects of 21st Century literacies and technologies on the teaching of writing.

Young Adult Literature (ENGL 475): This course is designed to provide opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students to engage in a thorough and critical examination of the continuously evolving field of young adult literature. Opportunities are provided to examine practical and creative applications of the course content in order to enhance the presentation and engagement of literature to young adult students in the classroom.

Introduction to Linguistics (ENGL 362): A required course for multiple academic programs (ex. English, English education, TESOL, and Foreign Language Education), the course introduces students to the study of human language from the perspective of modern linguistics, with primary focus on contemporary English, sociocultural linguistic perspectives, and critical discourse analysis.

Structure of Language (ENGL 363): For preservice teachers, it is important for them to be able to teach the finer elements of language practice in the context of their future students literacy development. This course is designed to engage students in an in-depth examination of language and its teaching. Some of the key objectives for the course involve understanding and thinking critically about: the basic principles, structures, and theories of modern English grammar; the use of language for different purposes, audiences, and contexts; how to help students develop a sophisticated understanding and control of communication through oral language, written language, and other media and technology; and the complexities connected to the many varieties of English (dialects, usage, etc.).

First-Year Composition (ENGL 101/102): A requirement for all students within the General Education Curriculum, this course provides students the opportunity to develop and engage in: writing for multiple rhetorical situations, their personal writing processes, critical thinking, reading, and writing skills, knowledge of conventions in writing, and 21st Century literacies.
