Research Interests:

    I have several areas that I would consider my special interests. All are related to the general topics of curriculum development and instructional planning. I have a real passion for the use of the outdoors as a teaching tool and  enjoy helping teachers explore ways to move the classroom outdoors, especially at the middle grade levels.
