My passion for teaching psychology comes from my desire to share a science which helps the population understand each other in order to produce more tolerance within society. I believed initially that, as one person, I would only be able to help a small number of people if I went into private practice. However, as an instructor, I will be able to create a greater social change by guiding my students toward their greatest interest in the field. Applying this methodology, instructors use psychology to create positive influences within their worlds. I view education as a lifelong process. As a lifelong learner, I believe it is important for an instructor to create an excitement within the classroom which assists in encouraging an intrinsically motivated student. My own personal experience motivates my desire to learn and share the science of psychology. The more that society is aware of the diversity of others based on factors leading to development of the personality, the better they can be understanding and lead others to be understanding as well.
It is the instructor’s job to determine the most effective way to deliver information so that it can be understood, absorbed, and stored. By creating a relevancy within the instruction, the instructor offers the student an opportunity to become more interested and therefore open to the incoming information. In order to facilitate this learning, the instructor must stimulate the students with activities and discussions which directly relate to them. Incorporating group activities, interest focused discussions, various media sources, and ongoing contact will keep the students interested and connected. I strive to integrate the career paths of each student within the classroom will provide interest provoking ideas and therefore encourage interest within each student. Along with provoking interest within the classroom, the instructor must be motivating. The excitement that the students feel from the instructor will transfer to the student. It is important for the instructor to go into the classroom with passion and show the students how excited she is to share her wealth of knowledge. Knowing how much this new knowledge will help them within their future lives and sharing that with the students will inspire continual learning. My experiences in life, blended with my desire to teach psychology in order to encourage positive social change, sets me aside as an instructor. I like to know each student and how they are motivated so that I can encourage them appropriately. As an online instructor, it is important for me to initiate and encourage the feeling of community in the class room. It is important for students to feel supported by faculty and fellow students.

LETTEROFREFERENCE:
May 5, 2009
To Whom It May Concern:
I am a part time Associate Professorfor the University of Phoenix and Axia College. Webelieve our students
will become the smartest group of men and women who ever entered the workforce,in part, because of our
strong commitment to education, real workexperience, and leadership. Professional training, combined with
a wide range of educational opportunities, makes for better people. Ed Bacon is the epitome of all these
characteristics. I highly endorse Mr. Bacon’s application foryour company.
Ed Bacon is an extraordinary citizen. He truly exemplifies a total leader. His persona is indicative to team
competency;excellent communication skills, continual self–improvement, emphatic leadership, and
unquestioned moral and ethical devotion. My association with Edbegan when he was a student in my
Organizational Ethicsand Social Responsibility class. I saw in him immediately a special gift that exudes from
him as soon as he opens his mouth. One of those special talents was expanding guidance and outlining
complex tasks forhis peers in a manner that produced quality results with amazingly little effort. While in
class one night the topic was on race relations and how it affectsdifferent cultures. The discussion on this
topic became very heated. During this stressful ordeal Ed stayed calm, cheerful, and was never intimidated by
any conversation or situation that came his way. This created a superior class room environment forother
concerned students that resulted in high moral and productivity. His ability to complete multiple tasking is
unquestionably a true reflectionof his many talents and traits. His most prominent quality by far, is his total
focuson communication,feedback, and documentation of all activities.
As a fulltime Federal Government employee, Associate Professor, and retired Officerin the Army Reserves, I
workwith many diverse groups and students. I believe Ed can stir up the consciousness in the entire
community of the ever present problems facedby all society while offeringsolutions. I have no doubt he will
be a great asset to yourcompany.
Respectfully Yours,
Andre’ Harmon
