Research:

Scholarly activities represent my interest and expertise in two primary areas: Early Childhood Education and Language and Literacy Development. Research in these areas has culminated into a collection of interrelated scholarly activities including four teacher resource books and hundreds of publications in professional journals and professional presentations. The focus of my scholarly work has been and will continue to be collaboration with colleagues and practitioners for the purpose of disseminating information to the classroom teacher.
