Andrew Inman
LECTURER IN ENGLISH
Turlock
Summary
Dedicated and student-centered lecturer with over nine years of experience teaching English composition, literature, critical inquiry, and interdisciplinary humanities. I bring to the classroom not only an academic commitment to inclusive pedagogy, but a personal understanding of the barriers many students face. From a personal understanding of the barriers that many students face, I have prioritized consistency, access, and student-centered growth above all else. My teaching is driven by a belief in writing as a transformative tool, and my students' development remains the central measure of my success. Recognized through range elevation and multi-year contract endorsements, I continue to serve as a reliable and trusted member of the academic community.

Teaching Philosophy
I strive to create classrooms rooted in equity, where every student's voice is seen as a cultural and intellectual resource. My teaching is informed by my own lived experience as a low-income student, homelessness, and exclusion, and I work intentionally to foster inclusive learning environments by balancing technology with access, designing writing communities that build peer support and cultivate a growth mindset. I believe in writing as a tool for empowerment, and my goal is for students to leave my courses with confidence in their ability to communicate, advocate, and create a better future for themselves.
