As an educator, I believe in creating spaces where every student feels valued and empowered to learn. This belief has shaped my approach across three distinct courses:
"Inoussa did an amazing job with teaching about inclusiveness, not only is he informed about different cultures in education but you can also tell that he is passionate about what he is speaking about and always comes to class with something new and exciting for us to view or read."
"Makes sure that everyone feels welcomed and their opinions are valued."
"Class discussions gave every student a chance to share their thoughts on course content."
"This class includes a lot of good inclusiveness for everyone to feel welcomed and grow on unsure topics."
"This class was all about accepting all cultures and including everyone which is how all classes should feel."
"There were several different ways to engage with and learn the material. I appreciated the differentiation."
"There were a lot of active activities in class and I got to know a majority of the people in that class because of all the active group work."
"The course content was good. You're able to learn a lot of new things and grow as an individual."
"I thought that some of the class discussions we had led to deeper understanding of the material. Being able to learn from my peers' experience helped bridge the content and my knowledge."
"This course gave a lot of opportunities to work with my peers. I enjoyed getting to know everyone's experience and learning from them."
"It worked really well to work in small groups compared to as a whole class because it was a bigger class and it felt more intimate in a small group setting."
"Great support and feedback."
"Inoussa gives great feedback and is very helpful."
"The feedback from the observations was great!"
"Support was good as he helped us."
"On top of communication and giving feedback on assignments."
I strive to ensure every student feels valued and heard. This has resulted in perfect scores for creating an inclusive environment in my practicum course and high ratings across all classes.
My commitment to student success shows in the consistent feedback I provide and the support systems I maintain. As one student noted, I'm "always helpful" and provide "great feedback."
I believe in learning by doing. Through varied activities and group work, we create dynamic learning experiences that students find engaging and meaningful.
Small group work, peer learning, and inclusive discussions help create a strong sense of community in our classroom.
These experiences have reinforced my commitment to:
The success of my students (with 87.5-100% anticipating A grades across courses) reflects not just academic achievement, but our shared commitment to learning and growth.
As I continue my teaching journey, I remain committed to creating supportive, inclusive, and engaging learning environments where all students can thrive. Each course presents new opportunities to grow alongside my students and refine my teaching approach.
