In my classroom, I create a dynamic and inclusive learning environment where students critically engage with both theoretical concepts and real-world political phenomena. My goal is to foster curiosity, critical thinking, and active engagement, enabling students to make meaningful connections between political science and their personal and civic lives. Whether discussing American politics, Latino representation, or media influences, I encourage students to explore diverse perspectives and develop informed, evidence-based analyses.
Recognizing the importance of media literacy and data literacy, I integrate these elements into my teaching to prepare students for the information-rich, evolving world they will navigate. Through active learning techniques like debates, group discussions, and case studies, I emphasize hands-on experience and critical analysis, equipping students with the skills necessary to become informed citizens and engaged participants in democracy.
Ultimately, my aim is for students to leave the classroom empowered with a deeper understanding of political science, a commitment to civic engagement, and the confidence to contribute meaningfully to their communities.
