The chair of the psychology department at Elon has been named the first faculty associate director of the Center for the Advancement of Teaching and Learning.
“Dr. King has a long record of innovative and effective teaching which Elon College recognized by naming her the recipient of its 2006 Excellence in Teaching Award,” Felten said in the e-mail. “Dr. King also has been an active scholar, publishing and presenting on topics including cognitive apprenticeship and student self-assessment of learning.”
King has taught at Elon since 1993. She received her degrees from the University of California at San Diego and Northwestern University.
