Barb is recognized for her extensive knowledge about and experience re: educating students who are deaf or hard of hearing and for her endless commitment to supporting the professionals who serve these students. With more than 40 years of experience as a teacher, administrator, and innovator, Barb continues to lead multiple professional efforts designed to improve educational practices and learning outcomes for students. Her most recent efforts include revitalizing PA’s grassroots professional organization for teachers of students who are deaf or hard of hearing (PESDHH), heading PA’s team in revising the Expanded Core Curriculum (PA ECC-DHH, patterned after the Iowa ECC), and working with IEP teams to understand how “access to the general curriculum” is assessed and improved for students who are deaf or hard of hearing.

Barb’s passion for teachers and their roles in creating student success is obvious every time she engages with colleagues in the field. However, if you by chance find her relaxing, she will be engaging with her granddaughters, building websites for new entrepreneurs, dabbling in real estate, or heading to Broadway to take in a theater performance.
