College of Science, Health, and Technology
Dr. 梅根Woltz
Dr. 梅根Woltz received her B.S. in Environmental Science with an Ecology concentration from North Carolina State University in 2007 and her Ph.D. 在昆虫学 & Ecology from Michigan State University in 2013. She became interested in pedagogy while completing a Certificate in Teaching College Science during her graduate work. 自从, she has continually explored new ways to use active learning to enhance student comprehension 和参与 in her 课程. Dr. Woltz joined 澳门威尼斯人平台官网 in 2015 where she regularly teaches biodiversity, 生态, 为生物学写作, 社会生物学, and the biology capstone.
During her first year of teaching full-time, she realized that helping students learn how to learn and successfully navigate college is just as important as covering subject matter. She begins her 课程 with an overview of successful study strategies and then embeds course content into activities in which students work collaboratively to practice scientific skills like quantitative reasoning, 假设检验, and graph interpretation. Over the last few years, Dr. Woltz has become aware of research demonstrating that student identity and stereotype threat affect student performance in 课程 across all disciplines. 结果是, she is now exploring methods to increase 包容性 in her 课程 to better serve students of all backgrounds and identities.
Being a teacher is about so much more than telling students important information about your subject. Teaching involves helping students become independent and self-confident learners and creating a classroom that decreases achievement gaps caused by systemic inequalities. I am incredibly excited and energized to have this opportunity to dive more deeply into pedagogical research on rigor, 包容, 支持, 和参与. 更重要的是, I am honored to be given the opportunity to help other faculty find ways to increase RISE in their own 课程, in ways that they are comfortable with and that are compatible with their content.
