Faith Integration and Interdisciplinary Work
The following is an overview of my philosophy faith integration supported by anonymous student responses to course surveys. Artifacts are provided below to support my claim of being a mindful educator in the areas of integration; faith, collaboration and interdisciplinary work. Artifacts include a list of all professional development conferences attended, course syllabi examples, programs designed, and resources developed. Links to evidence of integration will appear when hovering over various items within the list. A reflection highlighting a few representative artifacts related to integration can be found in my 'To Teach, Learn, Serve, And Be' reflection.
Faith Integration Statement
Dr. Jill has always shown a commitment to students and to the profession. She is a true model of a Christian educator that cares. I could not ask for a better instructor for student teaching. She is the best fit for this course in the department. Period. I appreciate this instructor and how she demonstrates Christ's love to her students. I always felt that I could ask her a question, if I did not understand what we were supposed to do for the assignment. The instructor shows the love of Christ everyday. She was able to model what an effective teacher looks like. As a student, I can tell she truly cares for my well-being. Cultural Diversity, Spring, 2015 |
I truly felt like this professor cared for me as a person as well as a student. She always took time to ask us about our week and our day, and ALWAYS made it a priority to pray for us. I had a really hard semester and I confided in her and she prayed over me and the situation I was in and helped me through my difficult time She was very responsive to questions and comments always wanting to hear what we has to say about the content. My favorite thing was that she took a huge interest in our lives and really exemplified Christian values. She gave us plenty of opportunities to participate and use the technology we were learning about. -Spring, 2015 Technology Integration |
I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Jill Gonzalez-Bravo and this class. I only have wonderful things to say about her as a professor! One of the reasons I was able to stay strong throughout the program; great professor! She got to know all of her students, not only as a class but on a one on one basis too. She really connected with her students and It showed. |
