Academic Instruction and Curriculum Design

 

Teaching is a wonderfully humbling experience, revealing to me just how little I actually know about the subjects or topics I am trying to convey. I think I learn more in teaching than I do as a student, as it forces me to dive deeper in the content and consider the broader context of the application of new knowledge.

Curriculum Design

I developed a unique curriculum for the documentary film American Made Movie, which focuses on U.S. manufacturing. This instructional guide is designed to be used in conjunction with a special "educational cut" of the film and presents 48 unique lessons for K-12, college, and professional learners. The curriculum is divided into four subject categories: Economics, History & Political Science, Trade Skill & Technology, and Careers.
