New Featured Educator of the Month

March Featured Educators:

Archana Mehta and Zachary Morris

 

Archana Mehta

Associate Lecturer |  Fashion Design & Merchandising | Kent Campus

Archana Mehta

Archana is being nominated for providing meaningful examples and tools during class time with her students.  She puts much thought into the feedback she provides to students and provides opportunities to meet with them one-on-one, again and again. She continually pushes her students to think outside the box in design classes; challenging them to take their ideas to the next level to become better problem solvers and innovators.  Archana also manages many design competitions for external scholarships, working closely with faculty and students outside of her classes to ensure students get these opportunities to succeed.  (Nominated by Rachel LoMonaco-Benzing).

 

Zachary Morris

Graduate Student | Political Science | Kent Campus

Zachary Morris

Zach has gone above and beyond in his teaching development over the past two years. He is constantly seeking new opportunities to build a student-centered classroom environment that promotes critical thinking and scaffolds learning. Zach recently developed a role-playing activity to engage his students with the political realities of two-party politics. Fueled by a desire to ensure that all students have the ability to participate fully, Zach constantly offers choice for his students, including a classroom Padlet that allows students to contribute without speaking. Zach has earned 5 Bronze and 1 Silver Teaching Recognition Awards through the CTL so far. Well done, Zach!
