Accessibility Studies; Mentor
NJP@cwu.edu
My strongest interest is in promoting accessibility awareness and acceptance. I originated and direct CWU’s Accessibility Studies Program which includes undergraduate, graduate and professional development certificates. As full professor in the Department of Curriculum, Supervision, & Educational Leadership at Central Washington University, I teach and research topics related to teacher education, especially classroom assessment and student-centered pedagogy. My academic agenda is infused with the intersection of environment, culture, and technology, including such diverse applications as watersheds, railroads and military history, visual literacy, and informal learning environments.
