James H Sanchez – Teaching Statement

Why do I do? How? What do I teach?

I teach my students to think with structure, helping them to clarify basic concepts for their effective abstract applications. When a student thanks me for finally understanding Math that before had been complicated and even impossible, I then know that my work has paid off. Often when preparing to teach, the concepts become even clearer no matter how simple. This continuum keeps my craft invigorated and my lessons palatable for my students.

I’ve taught Pre-Algebra, Basic, Intermediate and College Algebra, Quantitative Literacy. I have basically taught various college Math courses up to a pre-calculus level.

My objectives for student learning are primarily, completing the chapter outlines in the textbooks. These have, for the most part, already been professionally developed. I then use additional materials I’ve accumulated from my personal experience. For example when explaining Real Numbers, I use what I call The Brady Bunch of Mathematics to explain their sets and categories; My “You won’t get foiled again” strategy for factoring polynomials; my “Aren’t they special… Church Lady Routine”, for emphasizing Special Products, etc. Then I continue to relate these when a topic or its parts come up.

Having grown up in a different culture in Latin America in a Bi-Cultural context and with the metric system, I feel capable of stirring the imagination and providing realistic context without being one-dimensional in my teaching. If possible, objectives differ depending on the type of course or the background of students I am teaching. If my students do follow through and maintain a level of the required practice, they will gain an understanding of the foundational concepts and become more adept and authentic critical thinkers.

Annual evaluation for Lecturers (one-year appointed) and Instructors (multi-year appointed)

Faculty members need to submit a dossier with the following materials (in this order):

Up-to-date curriculum vitae

Teaching statement (no more than 1 page)

A list of courses taught over the last year (organized by semester), including number of sections and enrollment in each section.

Syllabi from courses taught over the last year (if teaching multiple sections of the same course, only one syllabus is necessary, unless there have been significant revisions)

Selected materials from courses taught over the last year, including exams and assignments

At least one peer observation

Student evaluations from all classes, including student comments (or a sampling, if the number of comments is large)

Other relevant materials (i.e., documentation from other duties that may be assigned)

These materials will follow the same channel of review as other faculty reviews: the Department’s personnel committee the Department Chairperson, and the Dean of the College. A recommendation for reappointment (if possible) or non-reappointment will be made at every level.
