Children's Literature Pages

Welcome!

I believe that students are most successful when they are responsible for their learning. Therefore, my teaching style is unique. My students participate in collaborative groups and are required to focus on the topic of the course as well as their skills in active learning.

My focus of study is on children's literature. However, I teach the study of this genre as it is part of the literary canon and do not focus on methods of teaching children's literature.

I graduated from Oakland Community College Summa Cum Laude with my Associate Degree in Liberal Arts. Then, I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Wayne State University. My major was Elementary Education with an emphasis in English. I attended Hollins University for my Masters.

Presently, I am a Ph.D. student at Western Michigan University. In my spare time (ha ha), I write reviews for the Children's Literature Association.
