From Ms. Lozano!
Greetings! I have the privilege of teaching all three courses of our Healthcare Science Sports Medicine Pathway: Introduction to Healthcare, Essentials of Healthcare (Anatomy and Physiology), and Sports Medicine. As a facilitator of learning I strive to build a student centered community that engages, challenges and inspires growth in my students. I am confident that every student is capable of finding a passion for healthcare by becoming collaborators in the exploration of healthcare science, related skills, research and problem solving practices.
I want my classroom to feel like a community of young people that have mutual respect for one another and for their learning. Accordingly, when I reflect on my role as an educator it is no surprise that a major focus of mine has been on building relationships with my students. I enjoy building dynamic conversations on subjects and issues that are important to my students. This dialogue gives our students the opportunity to understand how their experiences in the world relate to very real healthcare issues.
In order to engage students in the application of Sports Medicine and Healthcare Science principles our standards are delivered through the didactic principles of project based learning (PBL.) Studies show that students are more motivated to deepen their understanding when they are focused on solving problems that are meaningful to them. PBL is designed to be co-curricular, involving a variety of subjects, which are applied in solving actual problems within the healthcare industry. I believe this is vital in challenging our students to continue utilizing concepts learned in other courses while encouraging them to dig deeper by researching new ideas, concepts and skills. Lastly, it is my hope that I would inspire growth in my students by offering tools that they can take into other learning environments and in other domains of their life. Among these tools are a sense of respect for themselves and others, a passion for problem solving and a desire to become the best candidate in whichever college or career they choose to pursue.
