Dr. Kevin Miller is returning to his home state from central Florida and joins the Exceptional Education Department as an Assistant Professor. His research centers on preparing teachers to be more responsive in their teaching, electronic performance software, and the use of biofeedback with students who have emotional behavioral issues. After a variety of special education-related positions across the nation, Dr. Miller was excited at the prospect of returning to the institution from which he obtained his master's degree as a way of "paying it forward" and becoming part of a program that he strongly supports. He has significant grant writing experience, particularly in the area of personnel training, and is currently completing research focusing on preparing teachers through multi-media. While at Buffalo State, Dr. Miller hopes to enhance his research and grant writing efforts for finding tools to assist children with emotional and behavioral disorders as well as secondary education and transition programming for students with disabilities at the high school level. His driving force is the desire to "have a voice for children" who are many times "shunned" by schools and society. Dr. Miller believes educators must maintain a deliberate research agenda in order to remain informed and effective as instructors.
