Lead Faculty, San Jose Academic Center
Twitter: @Teacherpreptech
Dr. Patricia Dickenson began teaching for National University in 2012. As a member of the Scholarship and Research Editorial Board, Patricia has been an inspiration to many faculty in the SOE (now the Sanford College of Education). She has worked collaboratively with members of the NU faculty as well as with educators outside of NU. Patricia has several book chapters and two edited books in press with NU Faculty, one with Dr. Penny Keough and Dr. James Jaurez (SOEC). Patricia has an intense collaborative spirit and is a prolific writer. With 3 children at home under the age of 8, it is a wonder she gets any writing done! Thank you Patricia for your inspiration as a "budding scholar" and a colleague in our college.
