In my lessons, I aim to provide students with a dynamic and holistic understanding of social policy and media, focusing on the powerful intersections between these fields and their societal impacts. My teaching approach is adaptable and personalized to suit each student’s needs and learning style. I start each session with a clear outline of the day's objectives, using a mind map to visualize and organize key themes, helping students see the connections between complex concepts right from the start.

The lesson format includes a mix of structured discussions, case studies, and real-world applications that bring theory to life. We often begin with an interactive lecture segment, where I introduce core ideas and encourage questions to ensure comprehension. I then guide students through deeper analysis, exploring relevant case studies and historical examples. Through mind maps, we collaboratively build a visual framework that links new information to broader concepts, enhancing both comprehension and retention.

I actively incorporate various social and digital tools in my teaching. These tools not only foster engagement but also support collaboration, allowing students to work on group projects, share insights, and analyze media trends in real time. My experience with digital media platforms helps me make complex social policy issues accessible and relatable, offering students a hands-on understanding of how media influences public opinion, behavior, and societal trends.

My goal is for students to leave each session with a solid theoretical foundation and the practical skills to analyze how policies and media shape the world. I strive to empower students to think critically and apply their knowledge in real-world contexts, ultimately preparing them to engage thoughtfully with social issues in both professional and personal capacities.
