Timothy Reed works to ensure each student graduates prepared to teach in a classroom, 鈥渂ut also fulfill God鈥檚 call in their personal life.鈥�
Reed brings real world experiences into his classrooms. He combines theory with exercise, demonstrating how classes don鈥檛 always go as planned and understands that students might not always be engaged, so he prepares future educators for that.
鈥淚 would hope that students who take my class and graduate from 萝莉社 spend every day of their life continuing to learn,鈥� he says. Reed also understands and hopes to communicate that teaching is not about stuffing others with knowledge, rather, being a teacher is holistic, and teachers must try to understand each student and where they come from to cultivate a learning environment.
Experiential learning is something he values, 鈥淢aking sure that teachers don鈥檛 limit themselves to their classroom and the four walls is key to teaching effectively.鈥� Reed hopes that the future educators he builds up, become teachers who inspire their students and teach in new ways to create memorable experiences as his teachers have done for him.
