Mar Vista resident receives Cal State LA’s 2017 President’s Distinguished Professor Award

Cal State LA recognized Sharon H. Ulanoff for excellence in the classroom and service to the community during the 2017 University Fall Convocation at the Luckman Fine Arts Complex.

Ulanoff, a professor of curriculum and instruction in the Charter College of Education at Cal State LA, was presented Cal State LA’s 2017 President’s Distinguished Professor Award. This award, which goes to a previous outstanding professor recipient, recognizes the faculty member’s superlative teaching and exceptional commitment to students, as well as professional accomplishments and services.

Respected for her work in bilingual/multicultural and literacy education, Ulanoff’s research interests include second language writing acquisition, teacher identity development, and practitioner research. Ulanoff has been awarded grants in support of research on reading comprehension, teacher education reform and assessment of reading specialist competencies.

She is on the editorial board of the Bilingual Research Journal and is a frequent presenter at national and international conferences. She has had numerous peer-review articles published in academic publications. She was chair of the Special Interest Group Executive Committee of the American Educational Research Association.

At Cal State LA, Ulanoff is the co-director of the Ed.D. Program in Educational Leadership. She has served on the Institution Review Board, the Senate Executive Committee, Faculty Policy Committee, and the Semester Conversion Committee. She teaches courses in practitioner research, qualitative research, reading research, and diversity and equity.

Demonstrating her interest in student-focused teaching, Ulanoff has served as a thesis committee member, thesis committee chair for M.A. students; and dissertation committee chair for Ed.D. students.

Prior to Cal State LA, she was a faculty member at Cal State San Marcos and a bilingual teacher in Inglewood Unified School District. A Cal State LA alumna, Ulanoff received her Ph.D. in language, literacy, and learning from the University of Southern California. She resides in the Mar Vista neighborhood on the Westside of Los Angeles.

Four Outstanding Professors and one Outstanding Lecturer were also honored for excellence in teaching and significant achievement in scholarly inquiry during the festive ceremony on August 17. The Outstanding Professor Awards went to Cal State LA faculty members Talia Mae Bettcher, Nanda Ganesan, Patrick J. Krug, and Arturo Pacheco-Vega. The Outstanding Lecturer Award was presented to Jay Conway.
