I am Jan West, Senior Instructor at a small college in Arkansas. My education career began in the elementary classroom and continues in Adult Education. I have taught post-secondary students and currently instruct, counsel, and promote college and career readiness as well as workforce readiness and training. I am knowledgeable in both pedagogy and andragogy; I have an in-depth understanding and knowledge of classroom management, instructional planning, teaching methods, and full implementation of Common Core State Standards and College and Career Readiness into the curriculum.
I work collaboratively and professionally with teachers, administrators, and all staff members to develop a culture and educational climate that encourages the required learning needed for educational success of all students. A few of my strengths include collaborative leadership, problem-solving, encouraging educators to improve and develop their instructional skills.
