TEACHING EXPERIENCE
*Full teaching dossier is available upon request.
My pedagogical approach has been shaped by my teaching experience (listed below), formal instruction (such as the Teaching in Higher Education course by Woodsworth College and the Advanced University Teaching Preparation Certificate from the Teaching Assistants' Training Program), and informal thinking groups (such as the Canadian Society of Soil Science Soil Education Committee and workshops with the Centre for Critical Development Studies Graduate Affiliate Program).
