Courses
I primarily teach in the areas of Secondary Literacy/Language Arts and Reading. Because of my doctoral work in both Curriculum and Instruction (literacy) and the Foundations of Education, I also teach Foundations courses (Introduction Education, Sociology of Education, Diversity/Multiculturalism, etc.).
