Welcome to my Work page! Please dig in!

All of my research is rooted in questions that I have asked as a parent and teacher, or that teachers and parents have asked me.  I hope that you might find some answers here, or at least that you find a partner in your inquiry.  

Please read and share however you like.  Whenever possible, I have included links to the full text.
