Background/Personal Information

This fall 2020, I will be working from home as I teach solely online and also travel around the state to observe Dual Credit teachers and their classes for the English Department. Because of this, I want to encourage you to text or call me on my cell phone at (208) 731-9947 or to email me at kmadsen@csi.edu when you need help. I will ALWAYS schedule a meeting time with you at your convenience if the 11-12 hour does not work for you.
 
I have taught in the English Department at the College of Southern Idaho since 2004 and have taught Basic, Developmental, Freshman Writing and Rhetoric I & II, and Intermediate Composition, Honors Writing and Rhetoric, Introduction to Literary Analysis, and English Literature II.  I also teach many of these courses in an online or hybrid environment. 
 
For my duties in the English Department, I am also the Writing Program Administrator. In this work, I oversee our writing program in all its aspects including outcomes assessment, new faculty on-boarding, and facilitating professional development.  This work also includes my role as English Department Faculty Liaison for Dual Credit teachers. I also volunteer teaching English at the CSI Refugee Center during the fall and spring semesters.
 
Even though writing is a blood-sweat-and-tears kind of process, the outcome is deeply satisfying.  Teaching writing is much the same -- both the blood-sweat-and-tears part and the deeply satisfying part.  I love to experience with my students the "aha" moment when they begin to recognize that they too are writers.
 
I'm also a quite active in road cycling, running, and walking.  I try to dedicate at least 2 hours of my schedule every day to wellness activities.
 
Please use the information above to reach out to me. I look forward to meeting with you. ~k
