Personal Statement and Summary of

QualificationsI am a teacher educator, highly qualified to teach graduate and undergraduate courses in teacher education, focusing on reading and the language arts in elementary and middle grades, and teacher and/or action research. Due to permanent relocation in west Michigan, I seek online work, full-time or adjunct faculty in any of the above-mentioned areas. I am also highly qualified as a teacher consultant with the National Writing Project, to consult or lead any areas related to writing instruction. Public school teaching in grades 1-6 preceded my successful years in academia. I entered academia through a competitive appointment as a Teacher-in-Residence at Auburn University Montgomery, a position that awarded me a two-year sabbatical from Montgomery, AL public school system to become a full-time faculty member in the AUM School of Education. During the course of this appointed position I began my PhD program at Auburn University. I was asked to remain on at AUM at the end of my two-year residency where I taught undergraduate literacy-related courses as an Instructor. I earned a PhD in Curriculum & Teaching. Dec 2003 and attained Assistant professor rank. Tenure followed May 2006. My husband’s relocation to Washington DC resulted in my departure from AUM, and I began a five-year successful teaching career in the graduate program, School of Education and Human Development, at Shenandoah University, Winchester, VA, where I was promoted to Associate professor, March 2009. My husband’s retirement in August 2010 resulted in permanent relocation to Michigan, August 2010. I began adjunct teaching Fall 2010 at Hope College, Holland, MI, a position that continues.
