What I want for your child is to feel loved and safe at all times. I want your child to feel like we have a strong, teacher-student, relationship, because in order for significant learning to take place a relationship must be prevalent. What I want for your child is for him or her have the same opportunities to learn and grown as every other student. I want him or her to grow intellectually & emotionally. Finally, what I want most for your child is for them to experience a life long hunger for knowledge and success in someone so they can hopefully emulate that.

About rpan52
As a teaching professor who does research, I have an amazing opportunity to observe the work of early intervention professionals coaching families of young children making my textbooks come alive. My students are the beneficiaries even though they may not be by my side. For exemplary teaching at the university level to transpire, research and teaching cannot be separated. Professors involved in research witness this transformation in process and pass on to the classrooms of today and tomorrow. Contextual teaching, membership in professional organizations, and attending and presenting at national conferences allow me to pass the latest evidence-based interventions to my students. I want to create more opportunities for interaction. Prior to teaching at Lindenwood University, I worked for Special School District of St. Louis County with children of all abilities and their families for 20 years, and led professional development for 2500 special education teachers while earning my doctorate in Special Education at University of Missouri. I continue teaching online undergraduate and graduate special education methods courses. My research interest includes field testing The Family Planner as a "Do It Yourself Tool" and Android App.
