Background:
Toby Elberger has recently joined the adjunct faculty at the
University of Connecticut where she teaches the course entitled
Foundations of Biology. She also serves as an affiliate instructor
at Sacred Heart University. Additionally, Toby is assisting
the Academic Resource Center at UConn as an academic advisor
to incoming freshman, over the summer months.
Toby holds a BA in Biology from New York University and a Masters
in Education from Sacred Heart University. She has completed
her education at The Autonomous University of Guadalajara School
of Medicine. As such, the combination of her educational background
and cultural experience provides a unique platform from which
she enthusiastically teaches biology.
During the pursuit of her Masters in Education she reviewed
the science section of a literary work in progress entitled,
Encountering Children’s Literature, An Arts Approach,
By Jane Gangi. Last year she was involved as a judge in the
Westport Science and Engineering Fair, sponsored by Westport
Science and Engineering Foundation.
Toby believes that successful teaching requires reaching out
and connecting to students on a one to one basis; and that the
best way to accomplish this is by teaching each student and
each class with a passion and creativity that ultimately instills
the same love for learning and that she herself possesses.
