My courses in education 
At Adelphi University all of my courses in Education focus on the lives of children. I teach an undergraduate course on Childhood Development every semester. I teach a course on Classroom Management for Childhood Educators every Spring for students graduating from the masters year of our STEP program in childhood (elementary) education. For over 20 years I have been teaching a summer course called Emotional lives of children and classroom as community. This is an intensive, one-week summer course (usually offered in July) that provides an immersion experience in the emotional experiences of children.
I have taught summer courses in Education at the University of Hawai’i many times, and I have taught in the Early Childhood Education program at the University of Technology in Auckland, Aotearoa/New Zealand.
