University Teaching
Positive student-teacher relationships lead to meaningful student outcomes, including academic achievement. As an educator, Dr. Yasamin Bolourian is passionate about enhancing her students' educational experiences and supporting their success. To establish strong relationships, she prioritizes her students and strives to get to know each of them - their likes, dislikes, talents, and pursuits. To help foster student engagement and establish learning relevance, she incorporate examples from my research, clinical training, community work, and professional service into lessons, when possible. These principles form the foundation from which she builds and nurtures other dynamic virtues of education. In this effort, Dr. Yasamin grounds her teaching in continuous reflection, a willingness to embrace stimulating experiences, and an aptitude to learn.
In addition to teaching as an instructor at the University of California Riverside in the Graduate School of Education, Dr. Yasamin been invited to speak to classrooms of graduate and undergraduate students on topics such as:
-
Intellectual disabilities

Evidence-based interventions for autism
-
School-based interventions for autism
