I currently teach elementary and early childhood methods classes at Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania. This is my fifth year at SRU. Previously, I taught for 26 years in the Pennsylvania public school system. I have initiated the professional development school partnership between SRU and the local school district. I chair the University Forum at SRU, the Common Language Committee in the College of Education, serve on various other committees. Recently, I developed a new peer reviewed professional journal, The Field Experience Journal, that examines the act of supervision, school relationships, and teacher candidate perspectives on their experiences. Additionally, I serve actively on the committee hosting the National Student Teacher Supervision Conference held at Slippery Rock University. I have previously presented at four international; five national; three regional; and three state-wide conferences. I have ten publications in peer reviewed journals. I also serve as a reviewer for the TC Journal published by The Teachers College at Columbia University and the Pennsylvania Council for the Social Studies Journal.
