Philosophy
Learning is a complex process in which the mind actively constructs meaning through experience. Teachers need to be conscious of their students’ individual approaches to learning, knowledgeable about the background knowledge each student brings to the learning experience and adept at creating learning situations in which learners are able to think actively and reflectively.

She conducts in-services for local and state school districts and consults with parents and teachers regarding struggling readers. She is active on the Minot State University campus as well and currently serves on the HLC team and is head of the Teacher Education Unit.
