What courses are you currently teaching and what are you most proud of about those courses?
Graduate Level Courses: The enrollment numbers are so high and I am so proud of how well our Special Education Program is doing. It is doing so well due to the great SRU reputation for Special Education. Many of our undergraduates return for our masters level courses.
607- Positive Behavior Interventions
618-Language and Literacy for students with disabilities
Undergraduate Course: 325 Inclusive classroom
The students are able to use the textbook that myself, Joe Merhaut, and Robert Isherwood created called, “Strategic Co-Teaching in your school”. The book consists of many instances where one or all of us is applying practical experience from schools in the content of the course.
What scholarly/service projects are you working on and what are you most proud about those projects?
We finally created the Education Doctorate in Special Education. We are the first school in the PASSHE State System to have created a doctorate in special education. We will also have the first teaching associate on SRU’s campus due to this program.
What student success stories can you share?
Alyssa Williams is teaching special education at Greenville school district.
Kaleigh Hoover is an administrator in Baltimore, Maryland.
Anthony Uniejewski is the Graduate Assistant in the Deans office and is enrolled in our Special Education Autism Program.

I enjoy spending time with my family, skiing at Peak and Peak and boating in the summer in East Brady!
What do you like best or appreciate most about Slippery Rock?
Plain and simple answer, I enjoy the people. I like collaborating with faculty, the sheer dedication from the students enrolled in my courses, and most importantly having a supportive campus environment.
