My teaching experience has varied widely, from teaching archaeological techniques in the field and lab to more formal classroom settings for undergraduate students.
In addition to this, you can look at my Certificate in College Teaching portfolio, see example syllabi for courses I’ve taught and hope to teach in the future, and my teaching statement.
