Dr. Dayamudra Dennehy
A California Community College (CCC) Online Educator
Hello. My name is Dayamudra Ann Dennehy. I teach ESL online, face-to-face, and remotely, at City College of San Francisco. I have worked with language learners at all levels of English language proficiency in Credit, Non-Credit, and Vocational classes at CCSF since 1999.
I started teaching in 1991 in the California public schools. I have taught on both coasts of the U.S., at a private language school in Indonesia, and at grassroots educational projects, with a Mayan weaving cooperative in Guatemala and a Roma/Gypsy community program in Hungary. I founded and serve as Creative Director at an alternative educational center in India, which I have led with an India-based team, since 2008.
I began my training as an Online Educator through @ONE in 2017. These trainings have prepared me to design dynamic and engaging online courses, make a human connection with my classes through the technology, adapt an awareness of equity in order to challenge and support all learners, and model and practice wise digital citizenship. @ONE has inspired me to continue to grow as an educator and to bring a growth mindset and design thinking to all aspects of my teaching and learning practice.

This Online Teaching ePortfolio is my final capstone project for the CVC-OEI/ @ONE Advanced Certificate in Online Teaching Principles. I invite you to explore work that demonstrate my growth and development in the five @ONE Principles for Quality Online Teaching. On the pages of this site, you will find examples from my online teaching and personal reflections about my journey through the four professional development courses that comprise the program for the CVC-OEI/ @ONE Advanced Certificate in Online Teaching Principles.
