Tia teaches courses related to special education, guidance and behavior, and social-emotional learning to both undergraduate and graduate students. Her research focuses on the social-emotional well-being of minoritized populations, utilizing social-emotional learning, culturally responsive pedagogy, and special education. Tia discusses her research on SEL interventions in urban schools, offering evidence-based directions for further research and implications for policy and practice.
