      Humber College Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning is Ontario’s leading and largest college with more than 160 full time programs and 200 continuing education programs. The college has a diverse population of both local and a large international student body from across the world. I took the initiative to present Mathematics in simple and creative ways where students can relate to mathematical concepts in their daily living. In collaboration with the Centre for Teaching and learning, I created videos to enhance students learning in Mathematics. In addition, I also presented on behalf of the Faculty of Liberal Arts and Science at Humber College’s annual Show Case event on ways to relate Mathematics to everyday life. I also use novel ways of teaching mathematics to students (academic upgrading) who are faced with extreme challenges understanding mathematical concepts. At the end of each course, students usually achieve 98 – 100% pass rates. Responsibilities: • Teach Mathematics to students within the faculty of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and the School of Applied Technology. • Create assessment material (Assignments, Quizzes, Tests and Exams) to monitor student’s performance.

      The College of Agriculture, Science and Education (CASE) is a multi-disciplinary tertiary institution offering training in education, agriculture, management sciences and natural sciences to young men and women in Jamaica and the wider Caribbean. Responsibilities: • Implemented and utilized strategies to significantly increase students pass rates in all subjects taught. • Created and compiled Physics manuals for Associate Degree Science students. • Reviewed course outlines and organized off-site field trips to enhance learning and improve students’ academic performance. • Supervised student internship and monitored practicums, delivered lessons, prepared reports, evaluated students’ performance, provided timely and appropriate feedback and in an effort to help students explore various methods of improvement. • Head of Department (HOD) - Physics • Lecturer of Physics • Lecturer of Mathematics • Lecturer of Science Education • Lecturer of Environmental Science Achievements: • During my first year lecturing Physics and Mathematics, students pass rate increased from 30% to above 90%. This high pass rate was maintained throughout my tenure. • Agricultural students had Physics as an elective and registration was below 20 students per semester due to their perception of the subject’s difficulty. However after I started lecturing this course, enrolment increased to over 100 students per semester thus the class had to be divided into two groups to accommodate this registration. Students were motivated and excelled in this subject area with excellent pass rates. • As assistant cricket coach, the College team won the national intercollegiate cricket competition 1 year and went to consecutive finals.
