I guess I am a rarity in that I never changed my undergraduate major or left the field of education. My undergraduate education began at Hiram Scott College in Scottsbluff, Nebraska. Three years later, I was teaching fourth graders in the Milwaukee public schools while working toward my master's degree in intellectual disability at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. At the conclusion of my first year of teaching, I was asked to teach a class of young children with intellectual disability. I jumped at the opportunity and for the next three years essentially became an early childhood special educator. It was at this point in my career that I decided to earn my doctorate. I resigned my teaching position and moved to Madison, where I pursued a PhD in the areas of human learning, child development, and behavioral disabilities. Upon receiving my degree, I accepted a faculty position in the Department of Special Education at\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eBowling Green State University (Ohio), where for the next eight years I was a teacher\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eeducator. In 1982, I moved to Birmingham, Alabama, and joined the faculty of the\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eUniversity of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), where, until my retirement, I served as a professor in the\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eDepartment of Curriculum and Instruction. In November 2014, I was awarded professor emeritus status by the board of trustees of the University of Alabama system.\u003c\/p\u003eI have enjoyed a rich and rewarding professional career spanning more than\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003efour decades.
