Teaching

About My Teaching

Prior to becoming a teacher educator and professional developer, Dr. Brooks worked in the K-12 setting in multiple contexts: classroom teacher, writing center coordinator, academic tutor, and after-school mentor.  As a teacher-educator, her pedagogical choices combine theory and practice because successful teachers have a solid understanding of why they should use particular strategies. Additionally, she models the pedagogical techniques that I want my students to implement in their classrooms. This means that lecturing is kept to a minimum and students explicitly engage in the research-based practices. An important aspect of her instructional practice includes utilizing technology, such as classroom video footage and on-line resources.
