Jeff has many multifarious interests.

Professionally his interests include teaching, teacher research, creating collaborative inquiry curricula with students.  His intervention techniques and studies involve teaching with drama/action strategies, with technology, with visualization strategies, with inquiry environments, with various questioning schemes, discussion and group structures.  He has researched expert engagement in adolescent readers, and has extensively studied struggling adolescent readers.  He is currently studying the effects of inquiry environments on students and teachers, and is researching students who intensely engage with non-traditional texts typically marginalized by schools.

Personally Jeff loves the arts (reading, writing, movies, dance, theater and composing of all kinds) and the outdoors (backpacking, whitewater kayaking, rafting, nordic skiiing, mountain and road biking).
