| I work with students and faculty from Cascadia Community College (CCC) and the University of Washington Bothell (UW Bothell) to provide support and assistance in student research activities. This includes classroom instruction, appointments with students and assisting in designing research assignments. I purchase materials to support the UW Bothell Education Program, including curriculum materials and children's literature, and the ESL program at CCC. | ||
