MY TEACHING
seeks to expose students to multiple types of knowledge — both academic and non-academic — while prioritizing the use of evidence to support decisions affecting children and their families. Leveraging the work of developmental-contextual theorists to teach how individuals grow and learn, I strive both to show how the discipline has evolved over time and expand it.
​
Ultimately, in my work preparing future practitioners, researchers, and policymakers, my goal is to center an equity-focused and socially-just understanding of human development.

I designed and currently teach this master’s level course. Students learn about developmental-contextual frameworks to understand the mixed-status immigrant population.The course helps students develop a clear understanding of the tangible ways children’s interactions with policies, society, history, family, schools, and communities produce varied developmental trajectories.

Since 2018, I have been involved in the learning design, content development, and course administration of a fully online common core experience course at HGSE, How People Learn, which connects the science of learning and human development to professional practice in education across settings. In 2021, I joined the faculty team for the course.
