Boise State University Graduate
Courses ED-CIFS
537: Instructional Theory--This
graduate course examines relevant theoretical positions related to
cognitive theory, design, implementation, and evaluation. I incorporated service learning into the course as a theory
and as an application of other theories including constructivism,
authentic instruction, and reflective teaching.
ED-BLESL
501: Culturally Diverse Learner--This graduate course considers how to
specialize methods and programs to meet the unique learning needs of
linguistically and culturally diverse learners. Students engage in ethnographic interviews and literature
reviews to gain greater insights
into a selected socio-cultural group.
ED-BLESL 507: Parent
Involvement--This graduate course is designed to foster in
teachers, the knowledge and skills necessary to successfully
engage Latino parents in their children’s education.
Undergraduate Courses ED-BLESL
201: Foundations of Bilingual
Education—This undergraduate course encompasses historical and
cultural foundations of bilingual education and teaching English as a
second language. ED-BLESL
202: Mexican American Culture and
Traditions--This undergraduate
course covers Mexican-American traditions, culture, and history with a
particular focus on factors leading to Mexican migration to Idaho. A

was included in this course to provide students
with
hands-on community experience. ED-BLESL

Classroom--This undergraduate
course is an introduction to cultural diversity in education. It includes an overview of programs for culturally diverse
students and consideration of new ways to work effectively in contemporary
multicultural contexts. A

at four different elementary schools.

administrators at each school. I

additional relationships for our department as well as new opportunities
for our students who have expressed a strong desire to work at the middle
school level. Advising During the past three years I have advised over 50 students, guiding them
