“Just as iron sharpens iron, friends sharpen the minds of each other.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Proverbs 27:17 CEV<\/p>\n

Collegiality is an important part of personal development.\u00a0 It promotes intentionality in working with others\u00a0to create the best learning environment for our students.<\/p>\n

Since my first year at ACU in 2000, I have\u00a0worked with\u00a0individuals\u00a0across campus in a number of ways to improve the teaching and research conducted at ACU.\u00a0 In the summer of 2015, I was able to participate in a team effort to evaluate the Adobe Creative Cloud suite and begin transforming the Operations Management course as a mobile application for online use.\u00a0 The team, headed by John Weaver, Dean of Library Services,\u00a0was a collaborative effort\u00a0of instructional design personnel and the learning studio (see letter from John Weaver here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The following is a list of activities that emphasize other work done in this area:<\/p>\n

Participated in the Master Teacher pilot program during the fall of 2014 and spring 2015.\u00a0 See sample post of contribution to the MT blog, spring 2015, here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Participated in the summer Courage to Teach program with various ACU faculty<\/p>\n

Headed the departmental T&P committee for Alfa Nyandoro, who received tenure in 2015<\/p>\n

Published a case study and journal articles with business management faculty.<\/p>\n

Presented at conferences with faculty in COBA, Psychology, CBS and the Library and students from various disciplines.<\/p>\n

Coordinated a research effort during the fall of 2014 and Spring of 2015 for a biochemistry student using high performance computing in biosurveillance<\/p>\n

Coordinated research efforts during the Fall of 2016 and the Spring of 2016 for two marketing students to use high performance computing and analytics to analyze social media data to develop ethical marketing efforts to teens and children.<\/p>\n

Worked with management and SITC faculty to co-teach concepts in ERP applications<\/p>\n

Worked with Computer Science faculty on mentoring and grant writing<\/p>\n

Worked with ACU psychology faculty on participation in the AOM PDW program<\/p>\n

Mentored a minority women’s organization\u00a0with Bible faculty<\/p>\n

Mentored an Hispanic student organization with a biology faculty member<\/p>\n

Conducted\u00a0freshman common reading\u00a0sessions at the Adams Center with Biblical Studies faculty<\/p>\n

Taught CORE classes when offered and made recommendations for revision of CORE offerings with the Gen Ed Committee<\/p>\n

Participated in\u00a0team instruction to\u00a0allow students to benefit from the expertise and unique\u00a0skills and experiences of different instructors in one class setting.\u00a0\u00a0Working as a team to put forth the best class experience also\u00a0provides a\u00a0real-life example of collegiality and collaboration within\u00a0an academic environment that can be extended to their\u00a0own life\u00a0experiences.<\/p>\n

I have enjoyed the\u00a0privilege of team teaching the following courses.\u00a0\u00a0Descriptions and sample schedules have been added to emphasize contributions made by each instructor.<\/p>\n

CS140 – Intro to Programming<\/a> – taught with Dr. Brian Burton.\u00a0\u00a0I introduced freshmen students to Visual Basic and\u00a0C-Sharp\u00a0in the .NET development environment while\u00a0Brian introduced\u00a0students to Java and the Eclipse environment.<\/p>\n

CORE 120<\/a> – taught with Dr. Jeanene Reese and Dr. Lauren Lemley.\u00a0 Each instructor shared research, concepts, and tools\u00a0from within their respective disciplines.<\/p>\n

MGMT331 – Operations Management – ran the manufacturing game simulation for the course over a 4-week period. Provided students with hands-on experience using an ERP application without taking the full ERP course for technology majors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
