Personal profile
About
My overarching goal of my research agenda is to identify simple, effective, and low-cost behavior management strategies and training methods to help retain high-quality teachers and increase positive behavioral and academic outcomes for students. To meet this goal, I invite undergraduate and graduate students to be a part of my research program. I enjoy engaging in research with students that provides hands on experience (e.g., recruiting, collecting data, writing) and opportunities to contribute to discussion and ideas that drive research forward.
