Courses

I teach a variety of courses in the ELL/Bilingual Education Endorsement Programs, including: 

MLE 441 - Language, Culture, and Equity: From Global to Local

MLE 445 - Methods for Teaching Developing, Expanding, and Bridging Multilingual Learners

Research

My research focuses on content and language integration in secondary dual language education. In particular, I study how to best prepare teachers to integrate content instruction and language instruction, including how to develop the knowledge and skills that are necessary for this complicated pedagogical work. I also examine how instructional materials can be better designed to support teachers in integrating language and content instruction while they are teaching. I predominantly use qualitative research methods, including design-based research.
