Teaching

In this section you will find a list of all the classes I've taught since I came to Adelphi University. You will also find the description of the courses I've developed or modified to improve retention and avoid classroom trauma.

Modifying the math curriculum to improve retention and avoid trauma in class requires a holistic approach that takes into account various factors such as teaching methods, curriculum design, classroom environment, and student engagement. Here are some suggestions for modifying the math curriculum to achieve these goals:

• Incorporate real-life applications: Make math more relatable and relevant to students' lives by integrating real-life examples and applications into the curriculum. This approach helps students understand the practical value of math and enhances their motivation to learn.

• Use interactive and visual teaching methods: Utilize interactive and visual teaching methods to engage students and enhance their understanding of mathematical concepts. Incorporate hands-on activities, educational technology tools, and visual representations to make math more accessible and enjoyable.

• Foster a growth mindset: Encourage a growth mindset among students by emphasizing that intelligence and mathematical abilities can be developed through effort and perseverance. Create an environment where students feel comfortable making mistakes, asking questions, and seeking help when needed. Celebrate progress and effort rather than focusing solely on correct answers.
