Karen Spear Ellinwood, PhD, JD, EdS, BSW

Currently a classroom teacher in TUSD, Arizona, I will be posting educational content for use by classroom teachers whether they teach in person or online. My educational practice emphasizes active learning. So you will see decks on flipped learning and active learning strategies for youth and adults, as well as decks addressing strategies for engaging learners in reflective feedback conversations, discussions on cognitive error, a structured approach to problem-solving and critical thinking. I hope these are helpful to your professional practice. You will notice that 42 of these decks address a different audience -- educators who teach in medical education settings. Many of these do address issues pertinent as well to K-12 educators. These decks, however, indicate my former title, Director, Faculty Instructional Development at the University of Arizona College of Medicine-Tucson. While this account has always been a personally owned and operated account, I have not changed the credits on those earlier decks (dated up through 2021) because I continue to make them available, in the Haiku Deck tradition, for use at the UArizona.
