BRONTE MILLER (Math)
Patrick Henry Community College, Martinsville, VAThe work of GSCC validates the huge role that affective issues play in the success of developmental students. As a result, I pay as much attention in my pedagogy to the non-academic life of my students as I do to the academic life.

Gail Mellow and Diana Woolis, along with Dr. Louise Yarnall, lead evaluator from SRI, presented on “Pedagogical Patterning: Discovering the Patterns of Developmental Educators: A Story in Three Parts.” Here, they shared the work that GSCC has done around understanding the way that developmental educators teach by looking at the recurring themes that appear in a developmental educators teaching.
