Grants and Research

Collaborative Works/Projects (with public schools, community agencies, etc.)

Teacher Residency program with Sanger Unified School District. During this work I have been a leader
in creating and growing a Teacher Residency program to prepare teachers to become Multiple Subject
certified. In addition two students have also worked toward their duel language certifications, and one
toward her Math certification. I am in the school District one to two days a week working with
administration, teachers, pre-service teachers, coaches and Fresno State faculty to create and grow this
innovative program.
