I serve as the Director Emerita for the Minnesota Writing Project which I helped to establish here in 1990. For over thirty years, I taught language arts at Burnsville High School, where I was actively involved with the district's curriculum work and staff development programs. I am actively involved in several educational organizations and extremely interested in encouraging effective literacy instruction.
