Sharon Alston

I am an assistant professor of social work in the Ethelyn R Strong School of Social Work at Norfolk State University. I received an undergraduate degree from George Mason University and hold an MSW and PhD in social work from Howard University. I have over 10 years of teaching experience at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. My primary courses are research methods and human behavior. My teaching research interest is in the scholarship of teaching and learning with a focus on identifying effective pedagogical approaches for social work education.

Quality in Online Learning (OLC/Cengage) Badge
Issued by Online Learning Consortium
The earner of this badge has successfully completed the OLC 2-week training on Quality in Online Learning. This training program will help Cengage faculty consultants to better support, mentor, and provide virtual coaching to faculty at various institutions on effective practices of quality online learning, including course design, facilitation, and assessment.

 

"MindTap has helped me to provide alternative methods to facilitate student learning. I have used the videos and discuss questions in class and have found that students become more engaged when they are able to practice applying theoretical constructs to real life experiences in real time."
