Zachary Ramsey
I am an adjunct professor of teacher education at Touro University's Graduate School of Education and The University of New Mexico. I earned a Ph.D. in Teaching, Learning, and Teacher Education from the University of New Mexico in 2024.
I have been a teacher educator since 2019, and I have taught courses related to educational technology, assessments, project-based service learning, literacy, and foundations of education.
Previously, I taught English language arts at the Shelby County Area Technology Center in Shelbyville, KY from 2014-2019. I also taught an integrated English and social studies course at the district's alternative school in the 2018-2019 school year.
I began teaching in Johnston County, North Carolina in 2011. In 2014 I moved to Kentucky and switched from traditional pedagogy to project-based learning (PBL). It transformed the way I teach.
I was looking for a way to make language arts more hands-on, and PBL was the answer. Since 2014, I have written and taught over 30 different projects for a range of grade levels and subject areas.
I am a formally National Board certified teacher (AYA 2017-2022).
You can also find me on YouTube.
