Description of research activities: I am especially interested in identifying assessment and intervention techniques for struggling learners.  I am interested in identifying nonbiased assessment techniques for identifying students who are in need of early intervention or special education programming.  My current focus is on Response-to-Intervention application and the use of Curriculum-Based Measurement as a progress monitoring tool for diverse students.  Finally, I am interested in identifying effective assessment practices and instructional strategies which provide teacher efficacy.
