Supervisor for GA: Todd Finley
Program affiliated with the work of the GA (i.e., Advising Center, AT Lab, etc.): Tar River Writing Project, English Education Program.
Number of hours per week requested: 10
Research Tasks/responsibilities which the GA will perform: Data Collection and coding of materials related to a hyper-linked lesson planning template that I have developed and has been beta-tested school-wide at Wellcome Middle school.
Please name a specific person if you so request: I’d like the GA that everyone else wants, the one that will make all other professors jealous because of his or her analytical abilities and independence. Ultimately, I will be grateful for anyone, even if he or she smells of anchovies and particle board and eschews footwear.
My Idea for a Each Reading Assignment

Forget that this book has good information about UDL…and all online for free. I love the design of the chapter summary, an activity I’m thinking of requiring of one student per week in my college course, using, roughly, this format, and then posting on the web as a gift for all.
Brilliant, huh? Thank you, Cast.org!
