How would you describe your teaching philosophy or style?

I thoroughly enjoy teaching and I am excited about what I teach. My goal is for my students to become just as I am about learning.


What you like about teaching at UTPA?

I believe my colleagues and the students at UTPA want to make a significant difference in the lives of the children and clients they intend to serve. It is exciting to work with colleagues who share this vision of impacting the lives of children in the Rio Grande Valley.

 
Expertise and research agenda

My research agenda focues on educational programming and assessment issues pertaining to bilingual and/or at-risk and disabled children and youth.
