brownla@potsdam.edu
As Program Coordinator for the Adolescence English Education Program, I am fortunate to be able to teach a number of different courses. I regularly teach the MST and undergraduate methods courses, as well as the Intro to Education course and Young Adult Literature. I love teaching - it is a true passion - and to be able to help others learn how to teach gives me such joy and satisfaction. Plus, I love reading and developing new pieces of writing to share. I also care greatly about my community and try to get involved in even the smallest ways. I believe kindness, inclusion, and positivity matter - we need to take care of ourselves and others because we're all in this together.

As an educator who has taught in a secondary education setting for the past 16 years, I bring a creative and practical approach to the classroom. My social studies methods and computer applications courses provide students with relevant, hands-on lessons to prepare them for their classroom experiences. As a supervisor to Practicum students and student teachers, I model an effective, inquiry-based approach to teaching and use a wide variety of instructional techniques that allow students to be successful out in the field.

I grew up in an extremely small town outside of Buffalo, NY and always knew that I wanted to teach. After obtaining my certifications, I taught special education in NYS for 10 years in both inclusion and consultant teaching settings. After a move to Beaumont, TX, I taught Kindergarten for a year before starting a family. We now have one spunky girl and one active boy who are often on campus visiting. Prior to coming to Potsdam, I taught as an Adjunct Professor onsite and online at the University of Buffalo while I was working on my Doctorate degree. Degrees:
