Celia
Oyler is an associate professor at Teachers College, Columbia University
where she teaches courses in curriculum, teacher education, and elementary
social studies methods.
Celia taught in public schools for 15 years before getting her Ph.D.
at the University of Illinois at Chicago. For 10 of those 15 years
she worked in inclusive classroom settings, teaching students with
a wide range of social and intellectual skill levels.
Celia's research, teaching, and service are stimulated by her commitments
to participatory democracy and she believes that schools can be sites
where the skills and dispositions for democratic living are practiced.
Her current work centers on supporting classroom teachers to engage
in social action projects and use multilevel instruction in urban
classrooms. |
