Dental Hygiene Educator
SHOWCASE
This is a showcase of work I have completed as a student in the Master of Arts in Education (MAED) program at Michigan State University. Throughout the program, I had several goals for myself. First, I strived to apply the educational knowledge I gained in my courses and apply it specifically to education within Dental Hygiene programs. Second, I wanted to develop and work on my own teaching strategies and philosophy. Lastly, I wanted to create things that I could use in my professional career.
Below you will find samples of my work in all three areas. Enjoy!
