“Sometimes teachers—even very experienced, seasoned teachers—need some additional support and an extra eye,” Beth Taglioli says. “So, I'm looking at ways to support those teachers to implement interventions.”
Taglioli says that she values the flexibility possible within the Special Education program. “You get access to world class-level faculty and research and, as I said, the Centennial School is an exemplary model among schools in the state,” she continues. “But you also get a program that is small enough to be flexible and work with you, and help you design a course of study that suits your personal and professional interests.”
Chen Shi’s research is focused on helping children with emotional behavioral disorder and ADHD, and their families.

An assistant professor in the College of Education’s Teaching, Learning, and Technology program, Juan Zheng recently received the TICL Outstanding Early Career Researcher Award from the American Educational Research Association. With a background in both educational technology and educational psychology, her research focuses on integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and computer simulations into science, technology, engineering and mathematics education (STEM).
Most recently, her work focuses on integrating AI into a simulated learning environment to facilitate students' engineering design. She uses think-aloud, self-report, computer trace data, facial expressions, and physiological sensors to measure students’ cognitive, metacognitive, and emotional processes.
The award recognizes significant scholarly achievement in a dissertation project. Lehigh’s College of Education announced that Megan L.
