About me

Activity

I teach criminal justice. Not only are instructor academic credentials important to students but students wanted to know what experience an instructor has in criminal justice.  Being a knowledgeable practitioner of our trade is very important to a student.  Not just for the stories we can tell (stories are important) but for the practical and not just academic knowledge we bring to the classroom. 

I have found that informal learning has been very helpful in classes.  By this I mean that I use personal professional experiences to enhance the materials used in the text.  This gives a student that is not in the field yet; an idea of what expectations are in the field.
