 Our
students come from diverse backgrounds,
with multi-faceted needs, and hopes for an
education. As teachers, we value lifelong
and academic literacies, hoping to inspire
students to seek knowledge for its own
sake and solve problems for personal and
practical applications. Because we are
experienced guides, we urge students to
take agency and control of their learning,
but we also hope to become partners in
this learning. We wish to help them
understand themselves as students at
various stages of their education and show
them how to make choices for their
education, whether on campus or through
distance learning.
English
faculty teach a variety of courses and
serve on numerous committees dealing with
a broad range of issues, including:
curriculum, district and campus
initiatives, Achieving the Dream, faculty
development, assessment, International
Education, Writing across the Curriculum,
Swirl (our Zine), Writers in Performance,
Sigma Kappa Delta (English honors
society), sponsorship of student
organizations, and much more.
