Teaching Interests & Areas
Classrooms are an opportunity to learn more about the contextual factors that support students' future development. Often, people need assurance of their capabilities or the opportunity to explore what they are passionate about. My classes are designed to help students explore their interests through practice and discussions. Some of the best learning opportunities we can make are through discussions and personal connections with the materials. Trained in flipped classrooms, team-based learning, and SoTL designs.
Research Interests & Areas
I am a trained mixed-methodologist with two main interests, 1) fatherhood and 2) educational equity for Latino families. My work is centered on the belief that research should be designed to make a positive impact for others. Of particular interest, is how do we find our role within society and how can others (parents, mentors, coaches, teachers) change the way we view ourselves and our societal roles. I engage in community-based practice research and the study of teaching and learning.
