As part of a newly established Department of Education program entitled Educators Without Borders, I lead cross disciplinary programs for students in both Russian Federation and Thailand. In the Thailand program I organized and led practicum designed to give students the opportunity to work in diverse international education contexts. The practicum was targeted to education majors but included students in other majors who would like to broaden their professional background. In the Russia program I lead the Yellowstone-Altai Research Project with partners at Gorno-Altaisk State University and village leaders and schools in the Altai Republic. I make all logistical arrangements in-country, facilitate visa acquisition and lead in-country experiences. I meet with Altai research group every week of spring and fall semesters. recruit interview and select Native American, Women and Science Majors for the Altai Research Project.

The Masters of Science in Science Education (MSSE) is the largest graduate program at Montana State University. Along with three other faculty, I created the MSSE program and designed the education course sequence with an emphasis on action research.
