AUTHOR

The foundation of Dr. Jones' research and teaching is multiculturalism—an inclusive construct that recognizes that within each person co-existing cultures can interrelate and influence one another. As an author, she is committed to teaching culturally responsive approaches to prepare school psychologists to work with all children. Dr. Jones' ultimate goal is to bridge the gap between research and practice by developing culturally responsive and innovative approaches to emotional and behavioral intervention for all children.
