Sean Davis

Hello! I am an instructor of sociology at MiraCosta College. I am also a former student at MiraCosta and grew up in Oceanside, California. North County means a great deal to me, and I feel honored to serve our students and community. Teaching sociology is my passion! I knew it was what I wanted to do from the first time I stepped foot in an Introduction to Sociology course at MiraCosta. My hope is that students leave our class with a better understanding of their social world and a commitment to engaging in positive changes in their personal lives and their community. I currently reside in Vista, California with my family. The best way to contact me is via email. During the week (Monday through Friday), I will respond within 48hrs. Here is my email address: sdavis@miracosta.edu

My Teaching Approach

My classroom approach is learner-centered, focused on empowering students through the discovery of their own voices, and one that emphasizes building a diverse community in and out of the classroom. I seek to promote your success by embracing innovative and diverse classroom activities My goal is to enable you to achieve long-term success through the successful achievement of “small wins” that promote consistency, enhanced motivation, and confidence in abilities to master course student-learning outcomes

Contact me, I want you to be successful in this course!

If at any time you are feeling lost and are struggling with the material, please reach out to me with your questions or concerns as soon as possible. Give yourself plenty of time to complete assignments and readings. Take the periodic class surveys to help me understand which topics are still fuzzy to you.

It's a lot easier for me to help you if we have more time.

It's very difficult to provide support minutes before an assignment is due. Be proactive. I want you to succeed. Reach out to me as soon as possible!
