From August 2020 - December 2021, I served as a teaching assistant for the Social Foundations of Education and for the Gender, Women's and Sexuality (GWST) Studies programs at Oklahoma State University.
For the GWST program, I served for two semesters as a teaching assistant to Dr. Jessica Turcat in GWST 1003: Introduction to Women and Gender Studies. I helped facilitate our online learning platform (Canvas), conferenced with students on final projects, and aided in grading course assignments.
For Social Foundations, I served as the lead instructor for several sections of SCFD 3223: The Role of the Teacher over three semesters. This course was an elective for education students in the School of Education. As an educational foundations course, the material covered the history of US education, various eduational philosophies, legalities of education in Oklahoma, working with diverse learners, and culturally relevant pedagogy and practices.
Over three semesters teaching SCFD 3223, I created original materials each week to discuss and utilize for student learning. I created all tests and quizzes, paper assignments and directions, case studies on Oklahoma education policy, and peer/self-review rubrics for final assignments. I was the grading instructor for each course and served as the point of contact between students, advisors, and the school of education. I also mentored other teaching assistants who began teaching the same course, providing initial materials and syllabi to get them started with their sections of the course.
Below I have included materials from SCFD 3223. These materials include the course syllabus, course schedule, examples of course slide decks and a slide deck from a group activity within class on philosophies of education. To the right of each document, I have provided details on what the material is.
