Jared McKee
@jaredmckee
Ph.D. candidate and experienced educator specializing in online teaching, curriculum, and mentoring.
What I'm looking for
I am a Ph.D. candidate in Curriculum and Instruction: Languages and Literacies in Education at the University of Florida with over a decade of international teaching experience and four years of online instruction. I have worked across K–12 and higher education settings in the United States, France, and South Korea.
My research and practice bridge culturally responsive pedagogy, character education, and teacher education; I contributed to an NSF-funded professional development project for high school biology teachers and lead dissertation research on scaffolded reflection for pre-service teachers. I combine research, classroom practice, and curriculum design to support multilingual learners.
As an education consultant and online tutor, I design courses and workshops, mentor students through college admissions and writing competitions, and develop targeted curricula for literacy and essay writing. I have a strong record of creating high-impact materials and delivering mentoring and advising sessions.
I bring strengths in public speaking, writing, research, course design, and student assessment, and I seek roles where I can teach, consult, and develop curriculum that supports diverse learners and teacher development.
