PEER Review

I participated in UNL's  PEER Review of Teaching Project during the 2012/2013 school year. I completed a Benchmark Portfolio on my ENVR 249 course "Individual and Cultural Perspectives on the Environment. An abstract of my portfolio can be found here with a link to the complete portfolio. I conducted research to see if my students increased their perspective taking and empathy by conducting a pretest and 2 post tests. I am participating in PEER review again during the 2013/2014 school year to look at efficacy to impact change as well as perspective taking and empathy.
