About Me

I'm an Associate Professor in the Center for Education at Widener University where I teach undergraduate and graduate courses in reading/literacy. My research interests include digital literacy, teacher self efficacy beliefs for literacy instruction, culturally responsive literacy instruction, the role of motivation in literacy learning, supporting pre-service and in-service teachers’ literacy instructional and assessment practices in the 21st century.
