Short Bio
My main priority is the supervision of our Graduate Teaching Assistants. I train all students who will be teaching courses for our department on proper curriculum, delivery, and professional behavior. I also supervise the content and uniformity across the majority of our PHED courses; the most prominent being our Active Auburn class, and a few KINE courses, with KINE1100: Wellness being the largest of my responsibilities in this area. My ultimate goal is to provide all students who enroll in our courses a fair, fun, and educational experience they would be likely to recommend to their friends.
Areas of Responsibility
- Graduate Teaching Student (GTA) supervision
- GTA Training and Orientation
- GTA monitoring and mentoring (instructional practices, timely communication & grade entry)
- Course content for PHED courses (upload all modules/content into Canvas for each course)
- Course content for certain KINE courses (upload all modules/content into Cavas)
- Active Auburn Supervisor (insures uniformity across all sections; 28 this semester, holds troubleshooting sessions for students experiencing technical issues with required fitness trackers)
