Parent Advocate 

Dr. Scott is the mother of an autistic young adult. Dr. Scott has spent over 15 years working with her daughter, schools, teachers, and administrators to ensure that her daughter was equipped to access the curriculum. At each stage of her daughter’s journey, Dr. Scott designed resources or modified tools, tips, and strategies for learners with different processing styles and for students who struggle with fundamental skills (mathematics and reading/ reading comprehension). Dr. Scott is particularly interested in how teachers reach all students and how students who learn differently are served by our teachers and schools.

Dr. Scott’s academic and professional experiences provide her with a multi-faceted, systems thinking lens to engage at the strategic and tactical levels of teaching and learning. Her dissertation work focuses on developing and testing critical thinking skills and the identification of effective practices in formative and summative assessment.
