Cutting through the noise of part-time teaching is tough because, let’s face it, class prep, course design, and a host of other life responsibilities can leave anyone—especially adjunct instructors like myself—feeling like our limited teaching time and mental bandwidth are running on empty.
Here, brevity and levity are going to help us lean into those core learning objectives with high-impact teaching and learning strategies. Together, we’ll make the most of our time, amp up instructional quality, and keep sharpening our skills.
The goal? Simple, effective course design and delivery—one focused step at a time.
My Teaching Philosophy: A Commitment to Heutagogy And Self-Determined Learning
With career experiences as a full-time faculty developer, instructional designer, and educational consultant, I share both personal and professional expertise to support educators like you. Being a part-time instructor isn’t just my focus—it’s who I am in academia.
I’m writing from the messy middle as an adjunct instructor, where pedagogy, strong personalities, time constraints, and diverse student needs intersect. While our classroom environments may differ, our commitment to teaching, learning, and self-discovery is what we have in common.
This Semester offers practical strategies for both thoughtful planning and just-in-time teaching needs. Here, you'll find support that understands your challenges, celebrates your impact, and prioritizes your professional development.
We’re in this semester together!
