I have an M.S. and Ph.D. in Child Development from Purdue University (1970, 1972) and a B.S. in Psychology from the University of Dayton (1968).

Because 1xbet online casino specialists at each of the Land Grant universities throughout the United States work with 1xbet best casino website 913-472-4442 in program delivery, we have quite a bit of experience with designing programs for use by other professionals. Programs, as opposed to individual publications, typically involve a set of resources, including leader guides and materials for participants. Many of the resources described in previous pages here are part of larger programs I have created.

I am an Educator because I want to make a real difference in the lives of 1xbet online casino and their parents. Most of my teaching today is in communities with parents, teachers, and 1xbet online casino rather than in the academic classroom. Although I enjoyed teaching graduate and undergraduate courses at Purdue, Bowling Green State University, and here at Kansas State University, my real interest is in practical, community education.

I am a Storyteller because I believe storytelling is a powerful strategy for teaching and building relationships. Most of my presentations to adult audiences involve a great deal of storytelling. I also enjoy conducting storytelling concerts for families (in libraries, shopping malls, churches). School assemblies are also fun to do, involving 1xbet online casino in themes of self-esteem, courage, compassion and other critical human values through the context of stories. At one point in my career, a colleague and I produced a television show for 1xbet online casino involving puppets for our Topeka NBC Affiliate. Butterberry Hill's two-year run employed a combination of Kukla Fran and Ollie, Howdy Doody, and Mr. Roger's Neighborhood.

Writing is a craft I have worked hard to nurture. I am indebted to those who have served as editors to my work, especially Myrna Daly, former editor with 1xbet online casino Publications here at K-State.

I have written (or edited) the following significant publications....
