Director's Message

Under the leadership of several pedagogical experts over its course, the TRC has grown to become an integral part of our campus' mission to provide evidence-based tools and resources to become effective educators. I hope to continue to support TRC and our campus through such initiatives.

The TRC's goal remains to serve as a leader in providing professional development support for teaching, regardless of the level of teaching experience or faculty appointment type. Therefore, the TRC will continue to dedicate itself to promoting impactful workshops, webinars, grants, and collaborative initiatives with other CSUSB entities to serve our educators holistically. In addition, the TRC will continue its mission to provide resources on various teaching tools, including research-based learning, service-learning, summative and formative means of evaluation, and converting traditional courses to virtual delivery methods.

Teaching is my passion, as it allows me to fulfill the foundation of my chosen profession by aiding in training the next generation of professionals. My teaching philosophy has continued to grow and incorporate socially responsible pedagogy and high-impact practices that entail student-centered learning, much of which I have learned from TRC itself. By serving as its Faculty Director, I am honored to give back to the Center and help continue its growth.

I am looking forward to continuing and growing the scope of the TRC's service to our faculty here at CSUSB.
