Ph.D
Other relevant training. Describe:
I was a Visiting Fellow in History to the Center For Studies of the Person in La Jolla, CA in 1971. Dr. Carl Rogers was the dominant figure there. One fellowship a year was offered to individuals who had developed creative approaches to humanistic teaching (personcentered). I studied at the Institute with Dr. Rogers and others, and offered courses of my own.
My study at Temple University in the Department of Psychoeducational Processes was additional training in personcentered teaching.
Finally, my work at Research For Better Schools as a Research Associate gave me extensive opportunity to learn practices of competencybased instruction and evaluation.
