"Only by being true to the full growth of all of the individuals who make it up, can society by any chance be true to itself." (John Dewey, 1900)
Teaching is not telling -- it's about my students, not me. To teach is to provide the time, experiences, and supports necessary for learners to develop personally valued knowledge, understanding, and skills. My role as a university educator is to collaboratively construct and ferociously protect that learning space. . |

I have been a faculty member in the College of Education at UNM since 1998. My work is shaped around the notion of disability as a social construction and I currently am exploring that idea within the areas of bilingual special education, alternative assessment/evaluation, and language socialization and communication development among culturally and linguistically diverse populations.
