​Dr. Steven Weiland
ED 800 introduced me educational inquiry through the works of John Dewey, E.D Hirsh, Howard Gardner, and more. Here I learned about the process of inquiry, its discoveries, and the role those in school systems have on implementing said strategies. This course was a great cause for reflecting on my own practices.
​
Another course taken by Dr. Weiland. Here I learned about what learning is, how it occurs, and it’s overreaching impact it has on society. This course also made me reflect on technology in the learning process. How it manages our connections with others along with aspects in different areas of our life such an work or school.
KIN 854: Legal/Admn Issues of Coaching (Spring 2021)

KIN 854 helped me understand how to advocate for safety within my profession. During this course, I was involved in roleplay situations where I would manage facilities, coaches, parents, and the likes. Course work involved risk management plans and case studies on safety. This is a must for someone who’s a physical education teacher that wants to move up into being an athletic director.

​Dr. Lisa Gonzales, Dr. Gabriel Serna
Two back-to-back educational administration classes, the first being EAD 867 which wasn’t necessarily focused on case studies as the name applied, it was more so catered towards reflection in a leadership role. Here I saw things through a CRT lens. I was able to read how educational leaders of color had used theorical framework for the practices. Understanding different qualities leaders possess and how to empower those around you.
​
The second being EAD 879 which introduced me to the financial aspects of education. I learned how funds are allocated and how institutions would make forecasts before making financial decisions. This course offered me a way to learn a new skill in spreadsheets while also reflecting on the behind the scenes in education.
​EAD 850: Multicultural Education (Summer 2022)
​Dr. Leslie Gonzale
​EAD 850 introduced me to class and oppression in education. Here I examined the racial achievement gap and being aware of it.

Lastly, I was able to learn how to evaluate others, specifically coaches in an athletic program.

Safety is imperative as a current physical education teacher. This course allowed me to create resources for not only my future self as I advance in my field, but others as well.

​ED 870: Capstone Seminar (Fall 2023)
