Alisa J. Bates serves as Interim Dean of the College of Education at Concordia University Portland, where she leads teacher preparation programs and conducts research focused on university supervision, critical reflection, and diversity in teacher education. Her scholarly work examines the intellectual complexity of teaching, field experience design, and accreditation processes.
Her research interests center on teacher preparation systems, particularly the role of university supervisors in developing novice teachers' capacity for critical reflection and responsive teaching. She investigates how field experiences can be structured to support teacher candidates' understanding of classroom diversity and democratic teaching practices, with emphasis on supervisor-mentor relationships and professional identity development.
Her publication trends reveal consistent focus on supervision frameworks (35% of works), teacher preparation innovation (25%), diversity and inclusion (20%), and accreditation processes (15%). Recent works increasingly address technology integration in supervision and resilience-building for new teachers.
Dr. Bates has collaborated extensively with Mary D. Burbank on supervision frameworks, and with Laurie Ramirez and Dina Drits on critical reflection models. Her research often involves practical applications through school-university partnerships, particularly the innovative co-located PK-8 and College of Education model.
