Short Bio
Dr. Paris Strom began teaching at Auburn University in 2001 in the College of Education’s Department of Educational Foundations, Leadership, and Technology. He teaches both undergraduate and graduate classes for teacher preparation in child and adolescent development. Prior to joining the Auburn University faculty, he taught in Arizona as a public high school teacher and adjunct professor at Arizona State University.In the field of teacher preparation and working with public schools in Alabama, Dr. Strom’s research studies and publications focus on parent-teacher communication reforms to reduce student discipline problems and improve safety in high schools, assessment of secondary school student teamwork skills working in peer learning groups, and evaluation through polling of secondary school students to improve learning conditions in the classroom. Measurements he has co-developed for schools include the Teamwork Skills Inventory, numerous online polling measurements at LearningPolls.org, and the School Code of Recordable Events and Parent Alert Signal System.
His strong interest in improving education at all levels and ages is also connected to his research and publications related to lifespan learning and ways to enhance intergenerational family relationships. In cooperation with the community service sponsorship of Osher Institute of Lifelong Learning at Auburn University, Dr. Strom has co-taught classes to senior citizens about lifespan development and intergenerational family relationships. Auburn University has awarded Dr. Strom honors for his college program development, teaching, and research.
