Lorilee (Lori) Immel

• Instruction was primarily via online Zoom classes and private meetings At times, students were divided into private break-out groups during online teaching and Assistant Faculty and myself supervised their groups Some presentations involved informational teaching and experiential practices of spiritually formative and neuro scientifically supported activities, as well as limbic exercises Each student was required to meet with myself or Assistant Faculty at least once during class for purposes of ensuring academic and personal success When student was unable to attend classes due to personal, technological or other reasons, student was required to watch recorded sessions of lectures and presentations An open door policy encouraged students to counsel with Professor or Assistant Faculty for academic advisement or counseling Age, gender, social, cultural and denominational differences dictated listening skills I have become skilled at meeting students 'where they are at' academically and spiritually When appropriate, use of personal experiences were use to relieve stress and facilitate online communications

FACULTY RELATIONSHIPS

• Assistant Faculty member attended classes and co-one-on-one meetings when I held meetings with students via Zoom to promote, educate and evaluate Assistant's progress I have maintained positive, creative, helpful and meaningful friendships with Faculty and Assistant Faculty and have partnered with them to teach each others' classes and vice versa, when schedules required Dr Rey Taniajura, Academic Dean provided academic, theological and intellectual input, as well as Godly direction and encouragement I accessed ATlA's data base and used it often in researching theological matters pertaining to lectures as well as when Dr Taniajura called on me for theological input This professor values professional relationships and consider them important sources of learning and broadening of spiritual, professional and intellectual territory Although I worked for two years pro bono, payment for services was offered I chose to redirect said salary to scholarship enrollment funds I graded student papers, at Dr Taniajura's request and did so - in line with his direction toward leniency and an eye toward spiritual development over academic format

LECTURES AND PRESENTATIONS

• Lectures I prepared and delivered were delivered in conjunction with keynote presentations and normally included varied media materials to compliment lectures I have learned online educational technologies quickly and have used Google Drive as source of uploading class materials and graded papers Facebook Messenger was/ is most common to students' method of contact There is a 15 hour time zone difference from Arizona to the Philippine islands, so I was effectively on-call when teaching Lectures included video series, group and personal interaction online with third parties

DOCUMENT PREPARATION

• Each syllabus created included assignments and a schedule Syllabi were created in line with professional standards and included clear and concise overview of class materials, expected outcomes and opportunities to exercise and facilitate learned experiential practices in class Document preparation and dissemination was a large part of my duties I created many guides for students, pastors and professors alike to use in their ministries and personal lives

PROBLEM SOLVING

• Complex Problem-Solving is a strength of mine Dr Rey Taniajura, Academic Dean would often call to consult/ advise on interpersonal Faculty and Program matters Additionally, social behaviors in classes were not always as expected (respectful and curious) Dr Taniajura can testify to my kind and patient responses to sincere inquiries and my firm requirement for respect for fellow students and professors/ faculty

EVALUATIONS (Students and Program)

• Competency evaluations were often done silently, during in-class facilitation of materials and practices My evaluation capabilities excel, in both subjective and objective matters I enjoyed adhering to institutional policies and made recommendations to add to student handbook Academic Dean was direct mentor/ supervisor In 2015 and 2016 I spent one month in varied Cities and Villages in Philippines (and Singapore) sharing materials and content via in-person lectures as guest speaker Academic Dean and wife were hosts in Manila and former seminary classmate (Methodist pastor) hosted in Singapore
