TEACHING EXPERIENCE

                                                                                                                                      

Fort Lewis College, Durango, CO

 

 

Personality –

Designed and taught undergraduate course giving students an appreciation for the wonderful world of personality psychology – theory, research, and assessment – as well as its broad applicability to the students’ own lives. 


Counseling Skills –

Designed and taught upper-division undergraduate seminar exploring various alternate conceptualizations of “the talking cure” developed and refined over the last century. This largely skills-based course also examines the contemporary issues that plague the field of psychotherapy research, such as which of the various therapeutic approaches work best – and for whom – so that students can get a vivid appreciation of the complexity and innovation of the psychotherapeutic enterprise.


Introduction to Psychology –

Designed and taught undergraduate course giving students insight into what psychology has contributed toward our understanding of living beings and to expand student knowledge of how psychologists approach the world. Throughout the course, I take students on a dazzling journey toward the heart of the deepest and most fascinating enigma of all – the behavior and mental processes of the human being. My goal is to turn students from many different disciplines onto the value of psychology – and critical thinking – in the modern world.

 

Abnormal Psychology –

Designed and taught upper-division undergraduate course providing students with a glimpse into the world of the clinical psychologist at work and introducing them to our current conceptualization, research, and understanding of human psychological disorders. In this course, I use a wealth of clinical examples to give students a multifaceted perspective on the study of mental disorders and on the usefulness of both medicine and psychology for explaining and treating these intriguing human problems. I am currently working with FLC’s instructional design team and taking a “Designing for Impact” course to develop this abnormal psychology course for online / distance education.   

 

Research Methods –

Designed and taught undergraduate course aimed at teaching students to: 1) understand psychological research (through reading articles and conducting their own research study); 2) analyze psychological research data (using SPSS and their statistics knowledge); and 3) present psychological research (orally and in writing using APA style). The course emphasizes applied critical thinking skills and serves as the gateway into higher-level psychology, an exciting romp through the scientific method in which students transform into actively-thinking psychology students! This was one of the first research methods courses in psychology to implement problem-based learning as the core of its curriculum.

History of Psychology: A European Journey – Summer 2005

Designed and taught this innovative course in the history of psychology through a visit to Europe—the place where psychology originated—in order to foster a deep appreciation for the roots of this fascinating field. To my knowledge, this was the first such student trip undertaken by any college or university in North America. Students had the opportunity to explore the vast beauty and rich cultural heritage of modern-day Europe, while meeting other students from around the globe. Psychology-related sites included Freud’s museums (London and Vienna), Paris’ brain-in-a-jar, Jung’s and Piaget’s institutes in Switzerland, and Germany’s varied History of Psychology artifacts (such as an original phrenology teaching skull and other intriguing experimental instruments).

     Senior Seminar in Psychology –
            Designed and taught undergraduate course aimed at teaching students to fill their C.U.P.: 1) Conduct and present original psychological research in terror management theory; 2) Understand how to use your psychology knowledge to form science-based opinions of current world events; and 3) Ponder your future career and identify the steps required to progress along your chosen career and life path. In this class, students solidify their critical thinking skills, Statistics and Research Methods knowledge, and use of APA style. Further, students acquire many essential tools—including writing effectively, teaching others, collaborating on research, and preparing career-related materials—that will be immensely valuable to them after college. This is a mentored research class and an example of a High-Impact Educational Practice (HIP).

 

Forensic Psychology –

Designed and taught undergraduate course in this emerging and exciting area of psychology. This course examines the interaction of psychology and the legal system, exploring such fascinating topics as psychological testimony about insanity, eyewitness testimony, police interrogation, lie detection, offender rehabilitation, and criminal profiling. In addition, students get the opportunity to examine – and even replicate – various “classic” experiments in the growing field of forensic psychology. All of these topics help bring into focus the overarching theme of modern forensic psychology – the monumental gap between psychological science and criminal justice system practice…and what students can do about it.       

 

Service Learning in Psychology: Motivational Interviewing –

Designed and taught undergraduate course that gives students an opportunity to be Peer Consultants at FLC and learn about interventions designed to promote more responsible substance use on campus. Students are trained in basic counseling and motivational interviewing techniques, an evidence-based intervention for alcohol and other substance-related problems. They are then closely supervised as they gain valuable experience providing one-on-one feedback to other students sanctioned for alcohol- or marijuana-related campus policy violations. In addition, students facilitate substance-related programs in the dorms and on campus (such as National Alcohol Screening Day) designed to identify high-risk substance users. Results show that MI reduces recidivism compared to community service sanctions.                                   

 

     Topics in Science: Critical Thinking –

           Designed and taught undergraduate course that gives students an opportunity to learn and teach the most essential skill set for real-world success – critical thinking. These skills help students prepare for the GRE and in their other classes, as well as to sort through the myriad of claims (such as what ad executives, parents, or politicians tell them) in our modern world to decide for themselves what to believe and how to live. Students are trained in critical thinking techniques and use them to judge the regional science fair and teach these strategies to school children at the Durango Discovery Museum, the interactive science museum in Durango.

Enrichment Class: Building Social Confidence

      Designed and taught undergraduate course that enables students to improve the quality of their social interactions & support. The enrichment course is geared toward people who are anxious in social situations. This class teaches students how to build conversational skills, friendships, and assertiveness; speak up in class, and manage their social anxiety more effectively. 


Field School in Clinical Psychology: Front Range Edition

      After many months of prep work, including a recon trip through a November snow storm, I was able to develop an opportunity for psychology students interested in real live clinical work. I took students to the Front Range for a 5-week externship from June 15-July 17, 2015 as part of a 6-credit upper level psychology elective (Psyc 394 – Field School in Clinical Psychology). During the course, students worked either at the Colorado Mental Health Institute (the State Mental Hospital) at Fort Logan (Denver) or Pueblo, CO. Both internships involved 2 weeks of training—with topics ranging from ethics, policies, safety, and mental health laws to skills in CPR, S&R (seclusion and restraint), suicide prevention, the recovery model, verbal judo (non-violent communication), medication and diagnosis, risk assessment, and milieu management (behavior therapy). Both Institutes house patients who are seriously and pervasively mentally ill—the most common diagnoses include schizophrenia, trauma (PTSD), substance use disorders, bipolar disorders, and personality disorders. After the initial 2 weeks of training, students in Fort Logan spent the next 3 weeks shadowing and working with various staff members, including psychologists, psychology interns, social workers, nurses, and other health care professionals. Students in Pueblo instead worked with the psychologists of the Forensic Community-Based Services (FCBS) team, which serves 185 patients who were found NGRI (not guilty by reason of insanity) and strives to assist in their integration back into the community after their release from the hospital. With Provost Peters’ assistance, I was able to expand this class from 5 to 10 students in 2018, with sites currently at the Colorado Mental Health Institute (CMHIP) in Pueblo and the Denver County Jail; students get to be part of the treatment team at both sites and assist with intakes, group therapy, and case review meetings for a multicultural client population.

students and supervised/edited by Dr. Brian Burke in 2005 and 2006.


      Teaching Empowerment Team Member – Personality, Fall 2010 (with Drs. Uhes & Sears)

  The goal of this faculty team was to address a core pedagogical issue inherent in the nature of the study of  Personality. Many of the early “classical” clinically-derived theories of Personality are challenging for students to accurately apply in real life situations, whereas the more modern empirically-derived theories are more difficult to apply in the larger context of human functioning. Our team developed specific learning activities to increase our student’s abilities to more able to accurately comprehend and apply these two types of theories.

 

      Teaching Innovation & Pedagogy Faculty Development Grant – Winter 2010 (with Drs. Kraus & Sears)

The conference rotates locations between Colorado Springs, Pueblo, Albuquerque, and Durango/FLC. We drew 75 participants to Fort Lewis College in 2007 and 60 more in 2011, mainly psychology instructors in high schools, community colleges, 4-year colleges, and universities throughout the Rocky Mountain region and representing 17 different states. Average participant ratings of the conference overall was 4.9 out of 5. Topics have included teaching critical thinking, research on excellence in teaching, innovative approaches to teaching statistics, using PowerPoint effectively, and how to make your introduction to psychology course come alive. In 2011 and 2015, we generated wide institutional interest, with 20+ faculty members from different departments at FLC attending various portions of the teaching conference.
