Education & Instruction

Classroom instruction, curriculum development, and applied justice education built on real-world investigative experience.

Instructional Model: Structured Socratic & Dialogic Seminar:

My classroom operates using a structured Socratic seminar model layered with dialogic discussion-based learning. Students are not passive recipients of information; they are required to engage, defend positions, analyze real cases, and articulate reasoning under structured dialogue rules.

How it functions:

  • Weekly structured discussions

  • Students divided into rotating groups

  • Recorded dialogue sessions

  • Issue-based debates

  • Real-world case analysis

  • One major capstone paper synthesizing learning

This model builds constitutional literacy, analytical reasoning, and civil discourse skills; particularly around complex and controversial justice-system issues.

The instructional structure blends Socratic inquiry, dialogic learning principles, and applied investigative case analysis. Students are challenged to examine primary sources, evaluate competing claims, and defend conclusions through structured discussion rather than passive lecture.
