Montana State University
For five years (2000-2005) I trained and volunteered with the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and served on their Board of
Examiners. During this time I was the accreditation coordinator for the
Department of Education.
As part of a newly established Department of Education program entitled
Educators Without Borders, I lead cross disciplinary programs for students in both
Russian Federation and Thailand. In the Thailand program I organized and led practicum designed to give students the opportunity to work in diverse international education contexts. The practicum was targeted to education majors but included students in other majors who would like to broaden their professional background. In the Russia program I lead the YellowstoneAltai Research Project with partners at Gorno-Altaisk State University and village leaders and schools in the Altai Republic. I make all logistical arrangements in-country, facilitate visa acquisition and lead in-country experiences. I meet with Altai research group every week of spring and fall semesters. recruit interview and select Native
American, Women and Science Majors for the Altai Research Project.
The Masters of Science in Science Education (MSSE) is the largest graduate program at Montana State University. Along with three other faculty, I created the
MSSE program and designed the education course sequence with an emphasis on action research.
Profession
At the state level I created and manage the development of the Flathead
Watershed Educators’ Guide sponsored by the MSU Dept. Of Education with
Flathead Watershed Committee, Flathead Community of Resource Educators,
Flathead Conservation District, Montana.
At the national level I have been very active with the American Education
Research Association (AERA). I created the AERA Special Interest Group on
Environmental Education and helped produce the International Handbook of
Environmental Education as part of the AERA series of education handbooks.
At the international level I have been very active with the North American
Association of Environmental Educators (NAAEE). I created the Annual EE
Research Symposium as part of the annual meeting of NAAEE. This will be the
11 th year of the research symposium.
