Position
Professor, Early Childhood Education
Professional Interests/Research
Early language experiences, quality environments Inside & Outside that will foster respect for nature, positive social and emotional interactions, and Family Involvement.
Vision
I am gravely concerned about children's need for quality environments (inside & outside) and the critical need for interaction nature. Equally important, is the need for increased opportunities for play, more appropriate curriculums, and assessment.
