Dr. Sowell is a science teacher with a deep appreciation for the impact his lessons have on the “here and now.” He is passionate about his students’ understanding of what science is as a discipline, 科学是如何运作的，科学知识是如何产生的. 他工作是为了使人兴奋, engage and empower his students everyday to understand and improve the world around them.

Dr. 索厄尔的学生通过做科学来学习科学. Instead of putting the lecture before the lab so that his students show him what he said was correct, Dr. Sowell places the experience before the lecture so that his students create their own learning by exploring real-life scientific situations. 他在课堂上建立了一个强大的学习者群体, 营造合作氛围, 同理心和善良，批判性思维和创造性表达的价值.

作为一名新教师导师和专业发展促进者. 索厄尔直接与达内尔-库克曼学院的新教员合作, 鼓励他们通过寻求新知识来不断提高自己. His passion for his practice is evident inside the classroom as well as in the time he gives back to bettering his profession and the field of scientific inquiry.

我相信博士. 索厄尔集中体现了伟大教师的特点. 他是一位伟大的老师, 导师, 主持人, team player and overall caring person who would truly represent the best of Darnell-Cookman…
