Dr. King began her career teaching intermediate grades in
elementary schools near Syracuse and Buffalo (NY) and Durham
(NC). She owned and operated a preschool then taught computer
skills for children and teachers in a K-5 building near Raleigh
(NC). Following an elective course in instructional design, she
became interested in educational technology and
training/development in business and industry. After graduate
school, she worked as the training manager in a mid-size
Department of Energy research laboratory outside of Denver. As
the training manager, she was responsible for developing and
coordinating training sessions in safety, staff development,
employee orientation, and management development. During that
time, she became interested in the development of skills and how
adults are able to use (or ignore) those skills in the
workplace. She has supervised final interns in Sarasota County
for the past four years. In coordinating the field experiences
program at USF Sarasota-Manatee, she works to facilitate the
development of skills and their transfer to the classroom. As a
research area, she is particularly interested in teaching
practices and how the culture of the school helps and hinders
peoples' performances, both learners and teachers.
