She oversees an induction program supporting beginning teachers. She serves on the executive board of the California Association of School Health Educators (CASHE) and is an adjunct faculty of California State University San Marcos. She is the co-author of four books: "What Successful Teachers Do: 91 Research Based Strategies for New and Veteran Teachers" (Corwin Press, 2003), "What Successful Mentors Do" (Corwin Press, 2005), "What Successful Teachers Do in Inclusive Classrooms" (Corwin Press, 2005), and "What Successful Teachers Do in Diverse Classrooms" (Corwin Press, 2006).
