I'm just going to throw it out there

This may be considered shameless promotion, but I just have to put it out there.  I'm not sure how else to say it, and I've tried to say it in as many venues as possible.

I am interested in collaborating with, assisting, or studying under anyone involved in educational research, educational psychology, Washington Department of Education, or neuroeducation.

I would like to be your virtual assistant.  What is a virtual assistant, and what does she do?  A virtual assistant is someone who works from home to complete tasks for a company that can easily be done outside of the office.  Assuming that some tasks can only be completed when one has a thorough understanding of a specific company, it is expected that a virtual assitant would travel up to 100 miles each way to spend some time training; however after the training has been completed, she would...

I am always looking for ways to contribute to research whether it be with a teacher, administrator, neurologist, educational researcher, etc.  I'll gladly volunteer my time for such an opportunity.

My skills include writing, researching, promotion, speaking, counseling, instructing, and training.  My goal is to contribute to K-12 education through the investigation of learning strategies, multidisciplinary instruction, and student responsibility.  I particularly enjoy longitudinal studies.

If after reading some of my blogs below, you feel I might be a good fit to work with or assist you, please contact me.

Thank you,
Deborah
