"I am a high energy, highly organized people-person with a passion for student success. My gender pronouns are she, her, hers."
Bio
Laurie Prange (Prange-Martin) (M.Ed., Memorial University of Newfoundland, 2013) is a former academic librarian turned professor who specializes in the management of community services. Her approach to designing assessment tools like assignments and tests is informed by her background in teaching English courses and library workshops.
As a researcher, Prange focuses on human resource management, libraries and regional economic development. As a teaching-stream faculty member with significant educational training, her research informs her teaching practice. In her dissertation, she is studying how and why new industries emerge in remote regions.
Having held leadership positions in two Teaching and Learning Centres, I bring a depth and breadth of knowledge in student success strategies to my teaching practice. I am especially well-versed in Universal Design for Learning (UDL) best practices; thus, students with Accommodations are regularly advised into my sections to best support them while at Capilano University.
I love what technology can do to maximize student success. My interactive approach to teaching requires a variety of technological tools and students are encouraged to bring their smartphones, tablets and laptops to every class.
Over nearly two decades of teaching, I have developed a list of Teaching Best Practices.
I am a regularized faculty member at Capilano University and a PhD candidate at Aalborg University in Denmark. Before working at Capilano University, I was a permanent, full-time faculty member at Yukon College for 15 years, where I held positions as coordinator, instructor and librarian.
I am available to supervise academically-focused Directed Studies and teach in the M.Sc. (International Business) program.
I am the Faculty Advisor for the Capilano University Human Resource Management student association.
For most of my career, I have worked with Indigenous peoples and the Calls To Action for Truth & Reconciliation influence a lot of my work.
