Stuart Gerber Email & Phone Number

I am a Professor Emeritus and Adjunct Professor of Special Education at Southern Connecticut State University (SCSU), New Haven, CT. I have degrees from the University of Illinois and the Harvard Graduate School of Education, and more recently completed training in mediation and group facilitation with the New Haven based Community Mediation agency. At Southern Connecticut State University, I established and coordinated a Sixth Year (post master’s) Professional Diploma in Educational Collaboration and Consultation, a program designed to address collaborative relationships among teachers, clinical specialists, administrators, and parents. This program provides training in team building, communication, consultation, and problem solving skills, all of which support effective special education services. I co-authored and presented the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) Academy for Professional Collaboration, and have led many workshops in the USA and abroad in collaboration and consulting skills with colleagues. My current work is focused on colleague-to-colleague support approaches aimed at maintaining staff morale and productivity, including "Brief Helping," for problem solving assistance in the workplace, and "Resistance Management," for gauging and effectively responding to co-workers’ lapses in productivity.

Listed skills include Teaching, Staff Development, Faculty Development, Training, and 7 others.
