Touro University TESOL Candidate Jasmeet Kaur on Review & Assessment
As a Professor for TESOL, I am immensely proud to feature outstanding student work from our MS in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) Program. New York’s linguistic diversity demands teachers who can find common ground and effectively communicate with students from different language backgrounds. Academically rigorous and practice-intensive, the 33-credit program prepares candidates to be eligible for recommendation for ESL certification.
Jasmeet Kaur, Touro University TESOL candidate, a graduate of York College in Childhood Education (Grades 1-6) with Summa Cum Laude honors in 2022, is currently employed as a Substitute Teacher. Concurrently, she is pursuing a Master’s degree in TESOL at Touro College. Her professional objective is to support bilingual and multilingual students, aiming to instill confidence in their abilities and guide them towards academic and personal success.
“In my journey towards becoming a TESOL professional, Touro College has not only deepened my understanding of teaching pedagogy but has also introduced me to the latest educational technologies, which I believe will significantly enhance my future effectiveness in the field.”
Dr. Jasmin (Bey) Cowin, an Associate Professor at Touro University, received the 2024 Touro University CETL Faculty Fellowship for Excellence in Teaching and the Rockefeller Institute of Government awarded her the prestigious Richard P. Nathan Public Policy Fellowship (2024-2025). As a Fulbright Scholar and SIT Graduate, she was selected to be a U.S. Department of State English Language Specialist. Her expertise in AI in education is underscored by her role as an AI trainer and former Education Policy Fellow (EPFP™) at Columbia University's Teachers College. As a columnist for Stankevicius, she explores Nicomachean Ethics at the intersection of AI and education. She has contributed to initiatives like Computers for Schools Burundi, served as a resource specialist for Amity University in Uttar Pradesh, India, and participated in TESOL "Train the Trainer" programs in Yemen and Morocco. Her research interests include simulations and metaverse for educators-in-training, AI applications in education and language acquisition and teaching, and distributed ledger technologies, with a focus on her 'Education for 2060' theme.
In conclusion, my commitment extends beyond transactional interactions, focusing instead on utilizing my skills and privileges to make a positive, enduring impact on the world.
