Intercultural Knowledge and Competence

As a professor, I teach the course "Common Elements of Differentiation." In this course, undergraduate students learn about Social Justice in Education, differentiation frameworks, adapting instruction for English Language Learners, multiple intelligences, etc. Equitable access to music education is a core belief of mine and is found in my research and publications.
