Section Two. EFFECTIVE TEACHING AND FULFILLMENT OF PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES A. NARRATIVE ON TEACHING AND FULFILLMENT OF PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES

The cumulative summary of student evaluations (Fall 2005-Spring 2013) indicates that 97.6% of my

students responded that I “Almost Always” showed enthusiasm for teaching. My syllabi were clear and delineated

precise expectations and grading procedures for students. 94.2% of my students reported that I was “Almost

Always” prepared for class, and 95.1% reported that I “Almost Always” or “Usually” used grading procedures as

specified in the course outline.

I believe that a good teacher keeps his or her students actively engaged. 92.3% of my students said that I

“Almost Always” encouraged students to be involved in the learning process, and 87.0% said that I “Almost

Always” facilitated independent thinking and problem solving. Students also need to see the material as significant

to maintain interest; 92.2% of my students said that I “Almost Always” conveyed the significance of the subject

matter. An instructor also must communicate effectively to keep students actively engaged. 84.4% of my students

said that I “Almost Always” made explanations that were clear and to the point. Such effective teaching earned me

the honor of being selected the 2007 TALE Outstanding Teacher. Additionally, I have been invited to the Student

Athlete Luncheon for the past six years and was asked to be a faculty speaker in 2011.

I have also used technology, and technological tools, to aid my instruction. During the Spring 2009

semester I used Waypoint to assist in the evaluation of submitted materials to assist in creating cohesive feedback

that is also helpful in the NCATE Certification process. I have used Blackboard and now BOLT for my courses

along with Respondus to facilitate classroom presentations and evaluations, which had allowed for prompt student

feedback. Additionally, all class notes are placed on Blackboard/ BOLT prior to the semester to better prepare

students for each class. Further, I have used Blackboard/ BOLT to recordclass discussions for students who have

excused absences so that they do not miss pertinent information.

I have developed the Bloomsburg University/Bethlehem& Easton Area School Districts Practicum to

provide increased opportunities for our pre-service teachers to experience the urban school setting. Through the

writing and obtainment of grants, this program has developed from a small–scale to a large-scale program with 78

pre-service teachers in the summer of 2013. Further, I have partnered with the Millville School District to facilitate

Math Night for the past three years and I have supervised the Bloomsburg University Math Camp the past four

summers. This camp has had an annual enrollment of approximately 150 students per year. As of Fall 2010, I have

additionally partnered with Greenwood Friends School in Millville and St. Joseph School in Danville to start a

tutoring program. Students in my Teaching Mathematics in the Elementary School class were offered the

opportunity to participate in this program. They tutor students grades K-8th in mathematics each week. This program

has assisted Bloomsburg University students in developing strategies to create effective math instruction. And most

recently, I have begun a mathematics-tutoring program through the YMCA in Bloomsburg in which my students

tutor approximately 100 K-8 students.

2.2

In my role as advisor, I interact with more than 113 advisees through scheduling classes,

writingrecommendations, answering questions, and serving on thesis committees. Other interactions with students

include participating in the mass advisement sessions, the new Freshmen Orientation Picnic, graduation

commencements, and the student-teacher exchange luncheon. These opportunities provide both formal and informal

venues to interact and build relationships with students and colleagues.

3. Research Papers/Creative Projects: I have submitted oneIRB proposal over the past academic years, and it has been approved. The proposal (fall 2007) involved attitudinal shifts of students towards teaching in an urban school environment as result of practicum experiences. The longitudinal study gathers pre-and post-data using a Leikert Scale and a self-designed and IRB approved inventory. Three years of data have been collected to this point. In conjunction with the Bethlehem Area School District, once we have five years worth of data, recommendations will be made to the Human Resources department to assist in the hiring process.

C. ADVISEMENT TO STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS 2012-Present Faculty Advisor – Softball Club Since 2012, I have served as the faculty advisor of Bloomsburg University’s Softball Club. I am responsible for overseeing all facets of the club operations. I also assist in facilitating the flow of academic achievement in conjunction with athletic activities. 2008-Present Academic Mentor – Varsity Baseball

Since 2008, I have served as the academic advisor of Bloomsburg University’s Baseball Team. This team, made up of all academic majors. As the academic advisor, I am responsible for assisting team members in their academic scheduling and developing work study strategies to assist in facilitation of academic achievement in conjunction with their athletic activities.

D. OTHER CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE UNIVERSITY

Faculty Mentor During the 2006-07 academic year, I mentored a new full-time temporary faculty member who became a tenure-track faculty member in August 2006. During the 2007-08 academic year I was assigned to be the mentor of a new tenure-track faculty member during that academic year. I met with my mentee regularly and also invited her to various academic and social events. Bethlehem Area School District Urban Initiative Project During the summer semesters of 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013 I have facilitated the Bethlehem Area School District Urban Initiative Project, which is an innovative learning experience that provides academic insight to Bloomsburg students while allowing students the opportunity to give back to the community in which they are teaching. The diversity of this district allows Bloomsburg University education majors opportunities to engage in techniques and methods which will foster curricular and instructional improvement.

NCATE & PDE Activities Prior to and during the College of Professional Studies most recent accreditation visit from PDE and NCATE, I participated in many activities on a variety of levels to assist my department chair and dean as they pieced together their individual reports. During the actual site visit, I served as a NCATE/PDE Poster Session leader, which showcased the math activities performed in my classroom. Math Camp Facilitator During the summer semesters of 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011, I have facilitated the Bloomsburg University Math Camp, which has provided supplemental mathematics instruction for elementary school students. This program has grown from approximately 160 students to 300 students in the last 5 years. This camp, in conjunction with the Department of Exceptionalities, assists students with academic regression during the summer months and assists parents in the preparation of the upcoming school year.

2.3

Millville Math Night During the fall and spring semesters of 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011, I have facilitated the Bloomsburg University/Millville Elementary Math, which provided supplemental mathematics instruction for elementary students. This program has grown from approximately 100 students to 170 students in the last 5 years. This evening, in conjunction with the Millville School District, assists students with academic progress based on conceptual areas identified by classroom teachers. Additionally, it provides Bloomsburg University student’s actual experiences with elementary aged students.

Migrant Camp During the summer of 2007, I facilitated the Bloomsburg University/CSIU Migrant Camp, which provided supplemental language instruction for approximately 135 students. This camp, in conjunction with the Central Susquehanna Intermediate Unit, assisted ELL students with academic support during the summer months and provided Bloomsburg University student’s actual experiences with ELL students. Greenwood Friends Tutoring Program Starting in the fall of 2010, 30 students are assigned throughout the semester to provide math tutorial assistance to students at the Greenwood Friends School. This program is designed to assist Bloomsburg University students in developing strategies to create effective math instruction.
