Faculty Introduction: Welcome to REA1105! My name is Dr. Amoy Reid and I will be your instructor for the next 16 weeks. My educational background includes a Baccalaureate of Arts in Elementary Education; Masters of Science in Reading and Doctorate in Child and Youth Studies all from Nova Southeastern University. I teach several courses at Broward College including, EDF4430, RED4482, REA0017C, REA0007C and SLS1001 (Strategies for Success).
My philosophy of education encompasses several parts. I believe that education is not only an academic - it is emotional, social, academic, and physical. I also believe that my role is that of a facilitator who guides through hands-on learning, not just the knowledge-giver. Learning is a life-long process and I look forward to learning from and with you.
