Linda Lucker Leibowitz, associate director of the Executive Program in School and Mental Health Counseling in the Applied Psychology and Human Development Division of the Graduate School of Education, has received GSE’s 2014 Excellence in Teaching Award.
This award, given annually to an “outstanding member of the teaching faculty,” is an honor bestowed by the GSE student body. The recipients have “a strong commitment to teaching and learning and are known to challenge their students intellectually and imaginatively.”
Ms. Leibowitz’s areas of expertise include elementary and middle school counseling, developmental and collaborative counseling programs, program administration and peer programs for children at risk.
As a former teacher/school counselor in the Philadelphia School District, Ms. Leibowitz works to identify the “best practices” to be used for the delivery of counseling and mental health services in urban school and mental health settings. She is considering new strategies that might reduce the “barriers to learning,” as well as developing strategies for primary prevention and intervention.
Ms. Leibowitz earned her BS from Temple University and her MA from Villanova University.
