Teaching 🧑🏽‍🏫

My teaching philosophy centers on connecting theory to real-world applications while fostering individual initiative and teamwork. With training across public health and related social sciences at UC Berkeley, Tufts University, and Berea College, I rely on clear learning objectives, engaging activities, and supportive student relationships. I employ inquiry-based learning, dialogic teaching, and the Socratic method to encourage self-reflection, creativity, and critical evaluation. I focus on student engagement in the intersection of critical public health and social justice.

I adapt my methods to accommodate diverse learning needs like a blended learning format of online lecture and in-person group discussion sessions. I am also open to emerging technologies like generative artificial intelligence to ethically equip students for the modern world. My aim is to build rapport with students, understanding their unique backgrounds to make course material beneficial for their academic and professional growth. I continually refine my approach through student feedback and professional development.

• Administratively, Daryl has been instrumental to the course running smoothly – especially when things come up for each of us which just happens. Daryl's opportunity to lecture during the instructor–led portion of class was really insightful, grounded in equitable and diverse perspectives, and fun to engage with. Any course, school, or institution is fortunate to have someone like this show up the way they do both in class and the real world.

Health Sciences 390, upper-division, Cal State University East Bay (2022)

• LGBT Health has opened my eyes to inequalities and disparities regarding race, gender, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status here in the U.S. This course had many discussion board assignments that helped me participate in the lectures and activities.

• I really appreciated going over the materials provided in each weekly topic. There was a lot of insightful information. I just think that the students in the class were just so quiet (which was annoying) even though the professor really tried to get more engagement out of them. I enjoy our discussion because I may receive another perspective from a student that I never thought of

He encouraged students to participate, was well prepared, and very passionate about sustainability and public health.

Public Health W204, graduate, UC Berkeley (2020)

• Daryl is a fantastic GSI and I was very fortunate to have the opportunity to work with him, receive feedback on my assignments from him, and to receive encouragement from him.

Gender & Women's Studies 10, lower-division, UC Berkeley (2020)

• Daryl Mangosing was a great Section GSI. He allowed us to speak and informed us of any concepts and ideas that would pertain to our conversation. He really allowed us to discuss the topics from class amongst ourselves and pushed people to talk if they hadn't already (without calling out on people, instead just asking everyone in the room to say something by going around in a circle).
