WAIVER JUSTIFICATION

Name: Bonnie Keilty Unit/College: Hunter College

Department: Special Education

Dr. Bonnie Keilty was appointed as Associate Professor in the Early Childhood Special Education Program at Hunter College in Fall 2014. Her prior appointments include two years at University of Connecticut, two years at Teacher College , and four years at UNC Charlotte all at the rank of Assistant Professor. Prior to arriving at Hunter she was appointed as Associate Professor at Pace Univers ity. Dr. Keilty's nine years in tenure track positions and her five years at Hunter combined with her record of scholarship reflect substantial time and impact on the field to warrant consideration for early tenure. Dr. Keilty' s research and scholarship are located at the nexus of research, policy, and practice with a specific focus on creating cohesive early intervention systems and the importance of including parents when dev,eloping academic, social, and overall developmental goals for infants and children.

Research/Scholarship In total, Dr. Keilty has a total of 27 publications including 13 peer reviewed articles in the top journals in her field. She is first author on 15 of her publications and has 3 books that were published by Teachers College Press. Two books were published since her arrival at Hunter. One is a sole authored book titled "Seven Essentials for Family-professional Partnerships in Early Intervention" and the other the second edition of a previous book. Dr. Keilty has 65 scholarly presentations, 23 invited national keynote addresses and presentations, and 26 local presentation·s and guest lectures. She has received $40K in funding and has applied for several large federal grants that show promise for being funded in future submissions. Reviewers of her dossier commented on her impact on the field which includes the widespread use of her scholarly publications in graduate programs for Early Childhood Special Education. She was described as "constantly pushing the boundaries and looking for innovativeways to meet the needs of the field."

Others state that her work is significant "because it reaches so many front-line early intervention providers who have an opportunity to grow and learn from her work...she has published books that are invaluable for early intervention providers in Teachers College Press and are widely used by the field." Dr. Keilty' s contributions are important and timely and will impact the field for many years to come. She is able to motivate students and with relevant practicum and academic work. Dr. Keilty's publications consistently show her ability to describe philosophical principles in understandable applications as well as synthesize available literature - both theoretical and research to explain best practices.

Teaching In the past five years, Dr. Keilty personally oversaw the restructuring of the Early Childhood Special Education programs and all content/skills to be addressed within the coursework and practica. She's taught 6 of the core courses in the program and receives

the highest ratings from students ranging from 6.43-7.0. She is engaged in innovative training for teacher candidates including setting up playgroups for families with disabilities that serves the community at Gigi' s place.

Service & Leadership Since 2014, Dr. Keilty has been Coordinator of the Early Childhood Special Educatio n Program. In that time she has completely transformed the program course by course and established a mission and vision that serves as a model for other programs in the Special Education Department.

She serves as the Department Representative on the Curriculum Committee and School of Education Restructuring Committee and as the Hunter College Coordinator for Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504.

Dr. Keilty is well known in the field and previously served as President of Division of Early Childhood Policy Council, President of Connecticut Division of Early Childhood (DEC) Subdivision, and Chair of the DEC Recommended Practices Panel of Excellence. Furthermore, Dr. Keilty serves on the Editorial Boards of Journal of Early Childhood Teacher Education, Topics in Early Childhood Special Education, and Infants and Young Children and a reviewer for 9 other publications. Her service includes the multi-year terms leading up to and following the role of President of Division for Early Childhood (DEC) of the Council for Exceptional Children (Vice-president, President-elect, President, Past-President)...is definitely an example of service above self and it is a reflection of how her colleagues look to Dr. Keilty for guidance. She has provided public testimony to city, state, and federal level based on her expertise in early childhood special education. She is on advisory committees and boards for agencies including Gigi's Playhouse and Teacher's College.

We believe that Dr. Keilty will continue her trajectory of scholarship and strong teaching and leadership and expect that she will be ready for consideration for promotion to Full Professor based on the SOE standards that include impactful scholarship , leadership , and teaching.
