Teacher Biography

My name is Kenya D. Chaney. I am an instructor at Lynwood Community Adult School. I currently teach High School Equivalency Prep (GED/HiSET), Chemistry, Biology, Algebra 1-2, Geometry, Medical Math for Health Careers, Pre-Algebra, and ABE Math. I have been an educator over 20 years at different levels including middle school, high school, Adult school, and some college. I attended Alabama A&M University which is a historically black college. I also attended Colorado State University, Cal State Dominguez-Hills, and National University. I have a Master of Art of Education with focus on instructional technology. When I’m not teaching, I am an avid fan of music and DJ. Also, I curate art, concerts, and music events in California and other U.S. cities. I like to conclude that I am an easy going person who is very passionate about helping others. I look forward to greeting you with a smile.

Philosophy of Teaching

Science and Mathematics is the universal language of the universe.  These subjects are used  in over 90 percent of all jobs. As consumers, we use science and math daily. As an instructor at LCAS, I feel that it is important that instructions are provided in a comprehensive environment. How does chemistry, biology, and math relate to the real world? Why do we need to learn about fractions and decimals? These are many questions asked on a daily basis by adult learners.  

As an Adult education teacher, I have a belief in partnership with private educational entities. Private sector businesses and educational organizations help extend budgets and also provide better comprehensive education environments. These engaged partnerships will continue to help future educators such as myself provide an essential and effective classroom. All students, regardless of social economics background, will have a chance to compete with the rest of the world. I am a firm believer in a “chance”. Students should be provided a learning environment to learn regardless of the subject.

I have a philosophical belief that technology should be integrated in Mathematics and science instructions. Integrating new technology is a powerful strategy. . I am able to create learning and tutorial activities based upon lesson plans. Technology also allows for differentiated instructions in which feedback, explanations, group work, and supplementary work enhances learning for all Adult learners. By engaging students with technology, students gain a better understanding of how science and math works in their everyday lives. Students are able to accept challenges outside of the classroom and gain confidence from solving math problems. My goal is get rid of the fears Adult learners may have from earlier years in schools. In conclusion, I want students to leave my classroom with a new sense of confidence, community, knowledge of self, and progress. My hope is that they are able to bridge the gap of future learners and educators across the world during these times.
