My goal with teaching is to foster collaborative learning environments focused on the literacy experiences and multiple identities that each of us bring to learning spaces from in-and-out of school contexts. Here, you will find my teaching philosophy and examples of the range of courses I’ve taught at the college level. I have included sample syllabi and assignments from these courses. Please feel free to contact me at jessica.pauszek@tamuc.edu if you have questions.
