My contribution to teaching and educational development has been expressed at a program and subject level. Since 2004, I have been teaching coordinated Biotechnology subjects, tissue culture, plant biotechnology, biodiversity, general biology, hydroponics, molecular biology, graduate research projects, cell culture, and seminar lectures for both graduate and undergraduate and graduate students. I also coordinated many research projects in a developmental role, and have contributed to a range of other subjects, along with internship and master research supervision (please see CV for details). My contributions to curriculum development are founded on my pedagogical approach, which focuses on authenticity, work-readiness, research integration, and in particular, a flexible and dynamic approach to learning in alignment with learning.
Moreover, I have helped many private companies and institutions in developing their biotechnology projects and programs. I have participated in many radio programs and TV shows explaining the aspects of utilizing tissue culture techniques for nursery production and farming. Have written many newspaper and magazine articles (i.e. Agriculture Engineer Magazine) about tissue culture and its utilization. I have participated in many forums explaining different aspects of plant tissue culture and biotechnology to interested people. Furthermore, I have participated in the organization of many workshops and was a member of the Committee of many conferences in Jordan (see cv).
