Sample Curriculum
This page includes samples of curricula and lesson materials that I have developed over my time at Dickinson. They were chosen to try and give a wide a view as possible of my educational experience; therefore, the first comes from my work for the Dickinson College Farm's SEED program, the second from my work as a Writing Associate with a college-level educational research class, and the third from classwork done for a curriculum development class.
