Voices From The Classroom
Here are testimonials from some of our instructors:
- Robert McKay: Biotech Engineer & Biology Teacher
- Leila Dibble: Instructional Designer | Math & Tech
- Katherine Simon: Civil Engineering and Architecture Teacher
“I find that students really enjoy hearing me explain how biotech works and how we use the same biology principles we are learning in class. I often bring in past colleagues as guest speakers and that helps a lot with keeping things fresh and interesting.”
“Since I came from industry, the way I teach and approach things is quite different, I found, than most of my general education colleagues. I’ve had industry experience with many different companies and I run my classroom like I would an office, almost like I’m my students’ manager at work. I found that my students appreciate that. It takes them a while to get used to it, but I see a lot of growth and they really appreciate it in the end.”
“I love EnCorps because I spent several years working for high tech companies and I know how valuable those skills can be for the classroom. We are preparing students for a high tech world and it is fun to show them how their studies will be used in the future.”
