Teaching and Curriculum Design Experiences
During my time at ASU, I have taught several different courses in person, Hybrid (online & in-person OR synchronous & asynchronous), as well as synchronous and asynchronous online formats in three various degree programs: B.A. in Elementary Multilingual Education (EME), M.A. in Educating Multilingual Learners (EML), and B.A. in Elementary Education.
In addition to teaching classes, I have contributed to designing a new online graduate program (M.A. in EML) and have designed five foundational undergraduate and graduate-level courses for online, Hybrid, and in-person delivery.
