Tamara ArthaudPhD: Psychological and Cultural Studies -- Special Education

1998
I enjoyed working with some of the best educators in the field of special education. Working with Dr. Stan Vasa, Dr. Rose Allinder, Dr. Bob Reid, and Dr. Joan Rankin taught me so much. I was able to specialize in curriculum-based measurement, ongoing progress-monitoring procedures, and cognitive strategies instruction in an environment where they guided me to build my level of expertise. They mentored me toward becoming a university professor by facilitating my interests -- this was such a gift, as most doctoral programs require a candidate to work on studies and grants that fit the professors' interests. I learned from the best, and I am grateful for the opportunity they provided.
