Maria Lechtreck, PhD

Greetings!

​

I graduated from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) in 2022 with a PhD in psychology and extensive training and certification in teaching and learning. I then launched my teaching career in 2022-2023 at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM). As of 2023-2024, I am continuing my career at the University of Minnesota Duluth, where I teach the following undergraduate courses in a mix of in-person and online formats:

 

PSY 2003 - Psychology: Discipline and Profession
PSY 2223 - Gender in Society
PSY 3021 - Experimental Design
PSY 3022 - Applied Methods and Measurement

PSY 3081 - History and Systems of Psychology

PSY 3111 - Personality

PSY 3621 - Cognition

​

I developed this website as a marketing tool when I was seeking my first teaching positions and I wish for this site to remain frozen in that state, to stand as an example e-portfolio for future graduate students pursuing a teaching career. Contents of this site include the following:

​

• Teaching vision, mission, and philosophy

• Teaching & mentoring experience

• Unparalleled professional development

  • CIRTL Practitioner Graduate Certificate (teaching & learning)

  • Additional teaching & learning certificates (metacognition, online teaching, academic technologies, accessibility, and diversity)

  • Mentoring & Leadership Graduate Certificate

• Diverse academic service

​

My current website features new pages on neurodiversity and disability.

 

Please contact me regarding networking opportunities, the philosophy of higher education, teaching and learning research, and neurodiversity advocacy.

​

Enjoy your visit!
