Sample 3: Strategies for Modifying Instruction for English Language Learner (ELL)

During summer and fall 2005, I assisted Dr. Judith Irvin with book revision. (Irvin, J. L. , Buehl, D. & Klemp, R. (2007).  Reading and the High School Student:  Strategies to Enhance Literacy 2/e.  Boston:  Allyn and Bacon.) Dr. Judith Irvin is a professor in the Department of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies at the Florida State University. I contributed to the process by drafting a section in each chapter for practical strategies that teachers may use to modify instruction for English Language Learners.

Sample 4: Webliography for Design-Based Research(in progress) 

This webliography is created in collaboration with Rui Hu, Staphanie Jones, and Qi Li as a project assignment for EDIT 9990 Doctoral Topical Seminar on Design-based Research. The purpose of this website is to provide beginning learners of design-based research with a variety of existing resources as well as a "path finder" tool to help them locate the type of information that they need.
