Teaching, Research Interests, and Areas of Practice

I have taught at the post-secondary level since 1999. My most recent courses are in educational psychology and philosophy (e.g., adolescent development, teaching as a profession), research methods (e.g., intro to educational research, intro to statistics), and educational technology (e.g., integrating technology into the elementary classroom). My research interests involve: Theory-based instructional/learning strategies and cognition, interactive learning technologies, and academic success in at-risk, adolescent/young adult populations. My areas of practical focus include: Psychology applied to teaching/learning, instructional design (specifically learner characteristics and instructional methods), online learning, and research methods (with special interest in mixed-method approaches).

Current Funded Projects

A Preliminary Analysis of Factors Influencing Students' Transition to Middle School and their School Attendance. This is an internally funded mixed-methods study for which I am one of several co-investigators. We are investigating the relationship between middle school transition and student attendance. I am leading the quantitative data collection and analysis component.

eTech Ohio Teacher Planning Grant. This is a state-agency funded project that brings together three school districts, a virtual school, and university faculty. The project involves creation of an Online Community of Practice designed to prepare in-service and pre-service teachers (specifically middle school math educators) to integrate information and communication technologies into content-area instruction. I am one of several co-investigators and I am primarily responsible for designing data collection instruments for the initial needs assessments and for assessment of project-end objectives.
