May 2022 Adjunct Faculty Spotlight Meet Mary Ann Johnson, English Language Studies Adjunct Faculty Member! What do you teach? How long have you taught at COD? I have been teaching English Language Studies since 2013. What did you want to be “when you grew up?” I wanted to be a dancer on Broadway. I even majored in dance briefly before finding my true passion for teaching. What is your favorite show/TV series AND/OR What book are you reading now? The best book I've read this year is called Anxious People by Fredrik Backman and I'm currently catching up on the latest season of Barry. Do you have a favorite vacation spot? (from childhood or more recently?) I lived abroad for over 15 years and fell in love with Denmark. I hope to visit again soon. What attracted you to teaching? Initially, I started teaching English as a Foreign Language so that I could travel the world. In what ways does your work help students succeed? I help them succeed by teaching them the specific skills they need to achieve their academic goals. Who inspires you? My mother is without a doubt my biggest inspiration. Even at 80 years old, she is still the best listener, advisor, and teacher.

The Adjunct Times May 2022

Meet Jayne Kaspar, Surgical Technology Adjunct Faculty Member & Focus of this Month's Spotlight! What do you teach? How long have you taught at COD? Surgical Technology, 8 months What did you want to be “when you grew up?" A nurse What is your favorite show/TV series AND/OR What book are you reading now? I am really into Emily in Paris. It’s such an easy show to get into and keep up with when I have a chance! Do you have a favorite vacation spot? (from childhood or more recently? My vacations consist of visiting my three sisters in Las Vegas, NV; Palm Desert, California; and Austin, TX. What attracted you to teaching? Working as a Surgical Tech at Elmhurst Hospital really opened my eyes to how much I loved sharing my knowledge with new hires and students during their clinical rotations. I remember loving my instructor at COD and hoping one day I could do what she did! In what ways does your work help students succeed? I like to keep things light and relatable. Giving real life examples and stories help connect text book content to clinical experience. Who inspires you? My boss, Anna Campbell, and my fellow adjunct instructors: Candice Johnson, Jenny Cerpa, Anna Marzullo, and Ania Bucur. They have been the most welcoming and helpful group to begin this journey with and I really can’t thank them enough for all they do to help me grow into a great educator!

Practicing Paradox by Kate Szetela, Manager, Adjunct Faculty Support Last month’s Art of the Brief Time Out was devoted to discipline. What happens when we commit to a new habit or practice that takes discipline and we find ourselves struggling or not following through? This is a perfect time to practice paradox. For those that participated in a 4 Connections cohort, your familiar with the practice paradox concept of simultaneously providing structure and flexibility to our students. Just like when students take on a new course, when we take on a new habit or practice discipline, it is helpful to afford ourselves some grace when we don’t meet our expectations. Sometimes it is adjusting our intentions or goals, or merely to start again fresh the next day without carrying guilt or judgement about what has passed. The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, than I can change. -Carl Rogers
