Just about anyone would probably feel like a piker when comparing him- or herself to Jim’s academic qualifications, and I’m no exception. Nevertheless, let me add an entry to this Web log recounting my background.
I, too, have taught children and youth with emotional and behavioral disorders, having worked for the L.A. County schools and a couple of private schools in the L.A. area in the 1960s and 70s. I share with Jim substantial concern about the quality of education available to students with EBD. To that end, I have taught prospective teachers and researchers about special education since the late 1970s. After a brief affiliation with Northern Illinois University’s special education program, I joined the special education faculty of the University of Virginia Curry School of Education in 1978.
I have written about special education and hope to use this forum to promote provision of helpful services for students with EBD by commenting on what I consider appropriate and inappropriate in the current and evolving situation. Also, see my more-detailed notes on Teach Effectively!
