Teaching That Matters

Who are the Teachers at Baylor?

Baylor’s teaching faculty enrich students not only through their teaching in the classroom but also through the diverse backgrounds and experiences they bring to the classroom.  While some grew up in Chattanooga, and some are even Baylor graduates, many come from points across the country and across the globe.  They have degrees in everything from classical studies to computational engineering. They bring experience from teaching at all levels of education and in both public and independent school settings.  Their interests are just as varied:  they have won competitive races, paddled rivers, trekked mountains, started their own businesses, volunteered in their communities, and traveled the world. The variety of their lives notwithstanding, the one thing that remains constant is that teaching matters most to them, and they are hopeful about their students and about what the future holds for them.
