LeAnne Denise Johnson
LeAnne Denise Johnson
is an associate professor at the University of Minnesota. In her position, she serves as the coordinator for special education programs and leads an active program of research and training supported by over 2.2 million dollars in federal and state funding to date. Her research interests are intervention-oriented with a focus on improving outcomes for a range of preschool and elementary school-aged children who are at high risk given social, emotional, behavioral, and communication needs. LeAnne is focused on creating the next generation of implementation studies that support more rapid adoption and high-fidelity use of effective interventions within tiered intervention and prevention models. This includes research projects that are designed to help, (1) develop technology-enhanced data collection tools to support teachers in summarizing, visualizing, interpreting, and using data to engage in a precision-oriented problem-solving process, (2) improve the adoption and implementation of evidence-based practices in the natural environments of young children through understanding how mindsets and skill sets interact within professional development systems, (3) explore and improve the efficacy of behaviorally based interventions through systematic adaptation and intensification. LeAnne’s work is also grounded in her experience as a special education teacher spanning inclusive, resource, and self-contained settings.
