Teaching Philosophy
According to Betsy Schaffer (personal communications, April 7, 2009), there are three types of students): Prisoners, those who do not want to be here; Vacationers, those who are along for the ride; and Sponges, those who are serious students. My job is to soak the sponges while converting the prisoners and the vacationers into sponges. Full Page

I have over 7 years experience as contracted US Army trainer, training developer, and project/program manager. These experiences make me confident in course development and in the classroom. To improve my profession expertise and to prepare me for the university classroom, I completed Auburn University's 12 graduate hour Graduate Certificate in College/University Teaching. Full Page

Preparinging Future Faculty Certificate
I was a Fellow in Auburn University's Preparing Future Faculty program. The goal of the PFF program is to ensure graduate students aspiring for faculty positions are prepared to meet the challenges of an academic career in the 21st Century. The competitive program selects approximately 15 students annually from all across campus. Fellows enroll in two sequential 1-credit courses which address a variety of topics relatied to academic careers. Classes are held twice each month for two hours. Fellows also are required to attend at lease six teaching and learning related workshops offered by Auburn's Biggio Center for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning. Full Page
