FACULTY PROFILE

Dan Koonce, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor in the School Psychology department. He earned his Ph.D. in Educational Psychology from Oklahoma State University in 2000. His entry into the field of school psychology was fostered through working with adjudicated adolescents in Oklahoma and New York. He served as school psychologist in both urban and suburban school districts in Illinois, Oklahoma and Rhode Island.

Prior to his appointment at the Governor State University, he served as trainer of school psychologist at two different universities and provided technical assistance/training to school districts throughout the state for the Illinois PBIS Network. The focus of his technical assistance was in the development and implementation of tier 2/tier 3 behavioral interventions. His research interests are in the area of statistics, social justice, disproportionality, early literacy, and the professional practices of school-based clinicians.
