EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE ADDENDUM TO RESUME
I have taught part-time FRCC at Westminster, Red Rocks, Brighton and Boulder Campuses. The
work at Westminster and Red Rocks was in the 1980s, it was part-time contract to teach Criminal
Justice Classes and Anthropology classes at Red Rocks and my work was in the Learning Lab and
ESL lab. During that time I also developed and taught Introduction to Psychology, Psychology of
Law Enforcement, Cultural Literacy, Introduction to Sociology, American Culture in the 20th
Century through Film, and, Cultural Anthropology.
Currently I am employed as an Adjunct Professor at CCCOnline All of my classes have been
developed from “scratch” and I have been instrumental in obtaining additional video material and
library material to supplement them, especially in the area of minority issues and diversity. I have
pushed the envelope in integrating gamification, badging and leveling into my classes. Most
recently I have been part of the FRCC MOOC (Massive Online Open Course) on Gamification.
In the Fall of 2012 and continuing into the Summer of 2016, I was contracted to work with the
R2R (Ready to Run) for FRCC(BCC) online classes. In that capacity I evaluate online classes that
the instructors have stated are “ready to run” and ascertain if they have the correct content loaded to
sustain the classes for at least the first two weeks, plus instructor information, syllabus with correct
dates and information and schedule of classes. I then notify the instructor, R2R coordinator and the
lead or chair regarding the readiness of the classes.
I just finished ten years of teaching face-to-face classes for Front Range Community College in
Summer of 2016 Physical and Cultural Anthropology, or Anthropology of Religion, and
Anthropology of Folklore.
RELEVANT EXPERIENCE
Class Development: Front Range Community College, Boulder County, Colorado. I was
hired on very short notice to develop and teach two classes in Cultural Anthropology in the Fall of
2006, we only had three classes in Anthropology. We had 8-14 students in each. Now, in the Fall
of 2015, we will be fielding 6-8 classes, We have Cultural Anthroplogy, Introduction to
Archaeology, Physical Anthropology, Indians of North America, Anthropology of Folklore,
Forensic Anthropology, Anthropology of Religion and Medical Anthropology in our rotation. I
have also worked to supplement the visual part of the classes and we have over 80 films/videos. I
was a co-instructor in the Fall, 2008 term for Chicano Studies 224 and taught it alone in Fall of
2009 - 2011. I have also developed Introduction to Sociology and Introduction to Criminal
Justice for FRCC.

not only provide a welcoming and continuous supportive environment for our minority students but

community and that the community sees the face of FRCC so they know we are part of the
community.

this college.
