The Center for Teaching and Learning is committed to celebrating and highlighting great teaching at Boise State. No matter how small or large a teaching gesture, project, or effort may be, they all make an impact on our learning community. Starting in 2024, we are recognizing “Everyday Teaching Excellence” in our monthly newsletter. For the first time, join us in congratulating Anastasia Tracy (Radiology) and Megan Dardis-Kunz (Social Work) who have been nominated for their everyday teaching. Here’s some of what the nominators said about them:
Anastasia Tracy “was not only given the ominous task when she started as new faculty at Boise State to take the Diagnostic Medical Sonography (DMS) program over as the new program director, but also move the academic and laboratory experiences online. Ms. Tracy has not only successfully accomplished this once considered impossible feat, but has now had the new method of delivery via Boise State’s DMS program approved as the first JRCDMS/CAAHEP accredited online BS DMS program in the United States.
Megan Dardis-Kunz “is a model of what community concern and advocacy looks like for our students, with them often commenting on her passion and commitment to a high level of social justice advocacy in our profession. Professor Dardis-Kunz openly shares examples of her community work with our students, so they can see what we teach them ‘in action’; this modeling is imperative in our area of teaching.”
