Diana M. Reed

This year I had the privilege of joining the Education Department's faculty.  Previously I had enjoyed 22 years as Head Teacher of the Psychology Department's Preschool Lab.  Prior experiences included teaching positions from preschool to fourth grade at the Universtiy of Pittsburgh's Falk Laboratory School, the Winchester-Thurston School in Pittsburgh and the Michael Reese Hospital Childcare Program in Chicago.  I am excited about sharing my enthusiasm for early childhood with the exceptional young men and women of Westminster College.  I have a master's degree in elementary education with master's certification in early childhood from the University of Pittsburgh.  Memberships include NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children).  I have presented with colleagues for local PAEYC (Pittsburgh) conferences, PaCIE (Pennsylvania Council for International Education) and other early childhood training workshops.  Research interests include wordless book study and implications of technology in the early childhood setting.
