David and Cheryl Morley ASURE Teacher-of-the-Year Award
Elizabeth has been an instructor in the ASURE program since 2021, and has been consistently implementing changes that enhance the experience for ASURE students in the EAS stream. Elizabeth coordinates the experiences of students in a number of EAS faculty labs as well as running her own research lab. Her approach focuses on facilitating students building their research skills as well as instilling a sense of ownership of their research project and education. Through her efforts Elizabeth provides a venue for students to understand what research is, the iterative nature of the process, and that answers are not final but a step in a developing process. She has accomplished this year, as in past years with the ASURE Program, the Program’s goal of transforming students in their abilities to engage with complex research questions and think critically throughout the process.
Congratulations, Elizabeth!
