Prior to joining SUNY Potsdam, she taught junior kindergarten, second grade, middle grades title 1 reading, 6<sup>th<\/sup> grade social studies and ELA, and middle grades ELA AIS. Kathryn teaches courses in assessment, interventions, emergent literacy and supervises practical experiences in the MSED Literacy program for candidates seeking certification in Literacy. She also teaches literacy methods for classroom teachers. Kathryn\u2019s areas of interest include preparing teachers to move into the role of literacy leaders, and more recently on how to effectively use the online teaching environment to engage graduate students in literacy.<\/p>\n<p><em>Online courses and programs allow us to meet the needs of graduate students\u00a0who\u00a0are juggling many priorities in their lives.\u00a0These adult learners can benefit from the flexibility of asynchronous online learning, allowing for good work-life balance while still moving forward with their professional goals. When I\u00a0first moved\u00a0to teaching\u00a0online\u00a0I was interested in how I could maintain the kind of experiences and activities we had in person. Now I am more interested in how I can capitalize on the uniqueness of the online environment to offer\u00a0experiences we couldn\u2019t accomplish, or couldn\u2019t accomplish as well, in person.\u00a0The challenge is to continue to develop my knowledge and understanding of\u00a0engagement in online learning,\u00a0using the tools of our LMS effectively.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kathryn M.
