Dr. Stoetzel's research and teaching interests focus on educator
learning across professional trajectories, specifically in regard to
preservice teacher learning, instructional coach development, and the
opportunities afforded by expanding visions of digital and multimodal
literacy engagement (both as the content of literacy coursework and as
an element of instructional design). This work is grounded in her
beliefs about education which draw on shared expertise, situated
learning, and fostering capacity building through collaboration.
A former middle and high school English teacher, Dr. Stoetzel
worked extensively with the elementary education programs at the
University of Wisconsin-Madison while honing experience as a program
coordinator and instructor in the Student-Centered Coaching
Certificate Program. More recently, she oversaw literacy-based field
placements and coursework as a faculty member at Ferris State
University. Dr. Stoetzel currently teaches undergraduate and graduate
literacy courses at GVSU.
