Teaching To Support Learning
Below is a linked paper that I wrote that explains the way that teachers must be a facilitator for students, not a lecturer. This educational paper shows that teaching is a process of facilitation designed to boost student retention through diverse and precise lesson delivery. By integrating the six core learning theories and prioritizing hands-on experiences in labs and greenhouses, the I am able to move beyond traditional lectures to meet the unique needs of every learner. The approach emphasizes building strong community connections through FFA and SAE projects while fostering a positive classroom environment where students are encouraged to fail, grow, and pursue high-level achievements like the American Degree. Ultimately, the goal is to provide unforgettable experiences that spark a lifelong interest in agriculture and prepare the next generation for meaningful careers.
