Pedagogical Methods Used
Peer Instruction / Think-Pair-Share, Collaborative problem-solving, Conceptually-oriented activities, Context-rich problems, Ranking tasks, Project-based learning, Guided inquiry, SCALE-UP / studio / workshop physics
Education Research and Pedagogy Expertise
My educational research primarily focuses on student ideas and understanding ofof sociopolitically relevant energy scenarios.
Years teaching physics
20
Describe the courses that you teach
I teach introductory physics, experimental methods, climate change and various upper division physics courses.
What is your approach to integrating equity into physics instruction?
I strive to sustain a classroom learning community in which students feel safe and supported as they engage with challenging scientific, social and political topics.
