Interests:
I enjoy teaching basic human development courses as well as courses that relate to the education of young children. The majority of my time is spent in coordinating the Pre-K to 2nd Grade Emphasis Teaching Preparation Program for the Departments of Child and Family Development and Elementary and Social Studies Education. I have a special interest in children who speak Spanish as their primary language--how are their educational needs met? I am interested in issues related to the Latino population, especially acculturation.
