Responsibilities: As a College of Education faculty memberI work collaboratively with departmental colleagues as we plan, deliver, and evaluate our
undergraduate and graduate initial and advanced teacher licensure program to University students. We
meet with our secondary content area faculty to consider the appropriateness of the program and the
fit between their and our contributions. My instructional areas of emphases are the psychology of
learning, effective teaching and learning paradigms in secondary schools and professional programs,
differentiated instruction, and the study of critical issues impacting American education today. I
enthusiastically advise students to provide the support and direction they need for the professional
education part of their program and as they prepare to enter the field of practice.
Further, I have for 6 years coordinated the undergraduate teacher licensure program, and have created
unique programs and offerings for students, working collaboratively with colleagues to implement.
Some examples are the Secondary Education Coalition, KSP Undergraduate Distinguished Scholar,
Student On Special Assignment (SOSA), KSP Undergraduate Brochure, KSP Undergraduate Advisory
Council, Block Orientations, and spearheaded the effort to redesign structural pieces and curriculum of
the present undergraduate program to meet contemporary needs of students and the field of practice.
My other professional service work beyond the Department level is enumerated below.
My research agenda targets effective teaching and learning in secondary education and in teacher
education. Through many research opportunities I have conducted empirical research and distributed
findings and conclusions to the field of practice through articles and conferences. Creative projects
include numerous programmatic pieces listed above as well having created a KSP General Education
course for our Secondary Education Learning Community (KSP 200 Critical Issues in Public Education
Today), with emphasis on research; critical listening, reading and thinking; and ethical and civic
responsibility. Presently I am collaboratively working on a sequel to this, KSP 251 Coming Of Age, with
emphasis on diversity; critical listening, reading and thinking; and ethical and civic responsibility. All
my recent research accomplishments are enumerated below.
Of all responsibilities, my most important ones are those focused on my students. With clear and
deliberate intention, I (1) demonstrate attention and care for their well being through informal and
formal advising and creating advising literature; (2) always commit the time and effort to be entirely
prepared for each class, functioning as a role model; and (3) carefully design structured ways to work
along side of students, operating as a mentor.
