The award recognizes an emerging health science educator who demonstrates excellence, dedication and perseverance in teaching and education early in their career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Name:<\/strong>&nbsp;Jordan Rowley, PhD<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Title:<\/strong>&nbsp;Assistant professor, UNMC Department of Genetics, Cell Biology and Anatomy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Joined UNMC:<\/strong>&nbsp;August 2019<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hometown:<\/strong>&nbsp;Payson, Utah<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You are the recipient of the Emerging Educator Award. How has innovation played a part in your teaching career?<\/strong><br>Bioinformatics is the merging of biology and computer science and is a perfect topic to teach in innovative ways. I have been working to merge a flipped classroom with a workshop style of teaching, all in combination with creation of online interactive educational modules. Using multiple innovative means of teaching allows a greater number of students with various learning styles to grasp the material and gain the skills needed to succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Describe your proudest moment as an educator.<\/strong><br>I\u2019m thrilled when students have let me know that my teaching of the material enabled them to pursue their scientific research in a new direction. I have been exceptionally proud of those students where the skills they developed were the missing key that unlocked a discovery.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What advice would you give other faculty members who want to have an impact in education?<\/strong><br>There is no one size fits all in education. Students are individuals and need to be heard in order to foster connections. Using multiple approaches has a greater chance that one method will resonate with each student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Do you have a favorite quote or philosophy on teaching?<\/strong><br>\u201cEducation is not to be viewed as something like filling a vessel with water but, rather, assisting a flower to grow in its own way.\u201d \u2013 Bertrand Russell<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Rowley is an assistant professor in the UNMC Department of Genetics, Cell Biology and Anatomy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":75,"featured_media":97521,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"37305,71948,21295,53515,33911,27317","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-97290","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","topic-education","topic-inside-unmc","department-academic-affairs","department-college-of-medicine","department-genetics-cell-biology-and-anatomy","department-unmc-today-todays-headlines","author_override-unmc-strategic-communications"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
