Justification
/ Qualification to teach each listed course
Enter a 1 or 2 paragraph biography that outlines your qualifications to teach the courses assigned. Use this opportunity
to outline both course-related documentation and relevant work experience. Remember this is your opportunity to
provide experiences/certifications/professional development activities that qualify you to teach these particular courses.
Heather Walker has taught Biology at Southern Union State Community College since 2008 and
Central Alabama Community College from 2008-2009. She has also taught science, including
Anatomy and Physiology, for 4 years at the elementary and secondary level in a physical and online
classroom. In addition, she completed the training and coursework to become a licensed Emergency
Medical Technician-Intermediate at University of Alabama-Birmingham. Coursework covered medical
terminology, anatomy and physiology, pathology, and basic treatments of acute medical conditions.
Experience included intubating patients, inserting IVs, debriding wounds, performing CPR and
viewing surgeries. While her master’s degree is in education, she has completed more than the
required coursework and documented experiences that qualify her to teach Biology at the
post-secondary undergraduate level. In the tables below, the course descriptions for the graduate
courses in Biology have been correlated to the course outcomes.
