 | Dr. Amy Andersen Associate Professor of Education "Students in my classes can expect to be challenged and to be involved. Do not expect a lecture because I try to involve students in practical, hands-on experiences both in class and out. To become a teacher, you need to see good teaching strategies modeled and then try them out yourself. Be ready to be involved and try new things!"
