About Dr. Cynthia A. Lassonde Welcome to my webpage. I am an Assistant Professor at SUNY Oneonta. I teach literacy courses in the Elementary Education and Reading Department. In particular, currently I teach an undergraduate course called EDUC 284 The Development of Language and Literacy and a graduate course called EDUC 545 Content Reading and Literacy in the Elementary Classroom. I came to SUNY Oneonta in the Fall of 2003. Prior to teaching at SUNY, I was an elementary school teacher for over twenty years. Over the years, I have taught special education, preschool, kindergarten, first grade, fifth grade, and sixth grade. While teaching, I worked on and completed two Master's in Education and my PhD. For more information about my academic background, see my vitae. I am a member of several professional organizations, such as NYSEC, NYSRA, IRA, NCTE, and NRC. I am also an Associate Editor for the Journal of Authentic Learning. My research interests currently focus on best practices for teaching at the college level. On a more personal level, I am married and have three beautiful and intelligent daughters. Ann, Jill, and Kelly are at various stages of finishing up high school and going off to college. My husband of almost twenty years is self employed in the construction field. We live on a 100-acre farm in Schoharie, New York, where we have two Yorkies, chickens, and cats. For kicks, I like to run, garden, play racquetball, cross-country ski, snowshoe, and of course read and write. I have successfully completed seven 26.2-mile marathons and plan to continue doing one a year for as long as I am able. Contact Information Contact me through my email at lassonc@oneonta.edu.
