Workshops for Educators

I conduct workshops on classroom-library collaboration, information literacy, technology tools integration, early literacy, and storytelling.

Presentations and Keynote Addresses

I believe in sharing my learning. Whenever possible, I copresent my work with colleagues and collaborators.

Course Syllabi and Lesson Planning/Resources Support

I currently teach for the School of Library and Information Studies at Texas Woman's University in Denton. My Spring 2010 courses are School Library Media Center and Librarians as Instructional Partners.

As a teacher-librarian, I collaborated for twelve years with classroom teachers and students in Tucson-area high school and K-5 school libraries -- to integrate literature and information literacy skills into the curriculum. I have also served as a classroom teacher, literacy coach, district-level teacher-librarian mentor, preservice classroom teacher and teacher-librarian educator. Literature and libraries are my passions. I am returning to full-time work in a school library in the fall of 2008.

I am a literacies and libraries consultant. In 2003, I earned a Ph.D. from the Department of Language, Reading and Culture, University of Arizona; my research focus was media and literacy. I earned a Master's degree from the School of Information Resources and Library Science, University of Arizona, in 1992. I have taught at the university level since 1995. These are the courses I have taught: early literacy, writing, children's and young adult literature, elementary curriculum, social studies methods, electronic and information literacy, and storytelling.

I recently completed a longitudinal research study on preservice and novice classroom teachers' understanding and practice of classroom-library collaboration. My dissertation focused on the effectiveness of a week-long technology workshop to influence university-level educators' teaching practices toward a student-centered curriculum.
