I bring a singular passion to the task of integrating middle grades curricula in order to maximize successful learning. To this end, I seek to consistently dialogue with teachers in a continuing education environment, as well as future teachers while they are in training.
Josiah Meigs Distinguished Teaching Professor
My research focuses on strengthening middle grades education for young adolescents, those ages 9-15, including studying improvement efforts in policy and practice affecting middle grades schools; the professional learning of middle grades educators and the preparation of prospective middle grades teachers, specifically on-site in a professional development school; and the history and impact of progressive philosophies and related practices such as integrated curriculum, service-learning, and democratic teaching and learning.
