Teaching BackgroundI have worked as an instructor for over 10 years. Starting out working as a teaching assistant at Florida Atlantic University in 1996, I progressed through various stages of teaching including working as a substitute teacher, middle school teacher, high school teacher, Middle School advisor for Educational Talent Search, adjunct instructor at IRCC, and professor at IRCC. Key ResponsibilitiesMy responsibilities as a teacher are to help students explore their own writing styles and to show them a way of analyzing their writing and other writers’ works. I am not going to make you write my way. I will show you techniques and ask you to demonstrate your understanding of them. Department or workgroupI am proud to be working at Indian River Community College in the English Department. Favorite Links:
