Dr. Rachel Partsch
I have spent over 15 years working in Christian higher education in a variety of roles including administrative staff, adjunct instructor, and currently as an assistant professor. I have taught in multiple modalities including graduate, undergraduate, on-campus, online, and hybrid. My research interests include self-concept/sense of self, motivation theories, student achievement and learning, and the intersection of Christian faith and motivation.
