Abstract
As an educator, I am interested in facilitating the learning and growth of the “whole” student. I approach my students with an optimistic outlook, assuming they have the potential to become whatever they choose and have the motivation and capacity to do so. With this in mind, I design my courses to address the content of the particular course and the competencies that are important for success in the workplace, community, and family domains. For example, in one core business course (Human Resource Management), students learn about employment law, staffing, compensation, training, retention, employee motivation, change, and more. Yet, all course assignments and experiences integrate these concepts with opportunities to develop and/or enhance various skills and competencies: critical thinking, decision-making, written and interpersonal communication, presentation, technology, diversity, teamwork, leadership, citizenship, and ethics.
