Taught graduate courses in adolescent development, foundations of middle level education, and curriculum/methods in middle level education.
Served as a university consultant to May-Port-Clifford-Galesburg, Wahpeton, and Agassiz Middle Schools.
Assisted in setting up effective school improvement plans with a focus on improving learning and ensuring success for all students.
