   Approved to Teach Graduate Courses
   
 
I am approved to teach 600 level courses by The Graduate School. During 1993-1995 all of the graduate level courses that I taught were via interactive distance learning to three or four sites (Memphis, Nashville, Tullahoma, Kingsport, and/or Oak Ridge). Since Fall 1997, I have been teaching in a regular classroom setting except for Summer Semester 1999 [HRD 562], which was an off-campus graduate course. While serving as Department Head of Child and Family Studies [1998-2000], I had a reduced teaching load of one course. The College of Human Ecology and the College of Education merged into one College. I joined the Department of Educational Administration and Policy Studies (EAPS) in 2002 my home Department of Human Resource Development (HRD) merged with the College of Business. The three programs of the EAPS Department separated into two Departments. The Educational Administration and Supervision Program went to TPTE Department and the College Student Personnel Program and Higher Education Program went to the Department of Educational Psychology.
   
   Approved to Direct Dissertations
   
 
I have been serving on master and dissertation committees for the last 18 years. In 1995, I was approved to direct doctoral committees (dissertations) by The Graduate School. The Graduate School recently extended my approval to direct doctoral committees to the year 2010.
