| History At FIU: | I began working at FIU
as a tenure-earning Assistant Professor in 1992 after completion of a
post-doc at the University of Kansas. My initial program focus was on
the further development of the special education undergraduate program
for student with emotional handicaps and the courses in applied
behavior analysis. After a few years, I began teaching graduate-level
courses. My scholarship continued to focus on instructional strategies
that promote active student responding and classroom behavior
management. In 1996, I proudly accepted a University Excellence
in
Teaching Award. In 1997, I was promoted to Associate Professor with
tenure, and
the following year I was selected as the Department Chairperson.
I served in that position for four years. More recently, my
interests relate to instructional and assistive technologies to promote
learning. Back to Top |

| Personal Philosophy Statement: | When you work with exceptional children, inevitably you hear, "You must be so patient." Patience is good, but mostly what you need are good teaching skills. Good special education is not about tolerating children with disabilities, it's about teaching them (Barbetta, 1991). | |||
