Teaching
I teach courses in the Study of Religion, Hebrew Bible, Judaism, and Writing. My philosophy for teaching Religious studies courses involves reading primary sources and introducing students to various methodological approaches to interpreting texts. Building on the research of John Bean, In the classroom I incorporate writing activities to teach about antiquity that encourage critical thinking in the classroom.[1]
Additionally I lead workshops on teaching writing to undergraduate students. Topics include: Best Practices in Grading, Skills Development in Religion Courses, Developing Writing Workshops for Undergraduate Students, and Leading Tutorials.
Samples of my syllabi can be found via the link below. Some sample activities I have developed and have found very useful can be found below.
