Research and Teaching Interests

My current teaching and research focuses on developing individual-student behavior assessments and supports within school-wide positive behavior support frameworks, single-case intervention research design and analysis across applied settings within and outside of education, behavioral approaches to online learning and instruction, and the application of technology to collaborative learning. I am particularly interested in ways to support teachers and interventionists in the development and implementation of systems of behavior support for students. My colleagues at the University of Washington (Seattle and Tacoma) and I recently developed a web-based coaching and collaboration application (ibestt) that guides elementary and middle-school educators in the implementation of individual-student behavior support plans. Currently, we are creating a version for use in early childhood settings.
