Dr Carol Connor is the Chancellor's Professor at UCI's School of Education and her research focuses on examining the links between children’s language, cognitive, social-emotional, and literacy and mathematics development from preschool through the elementary grades. Understanding these links may illuminate reasons for the perplexing difficulties children who are atypical and diverse learners have developing basic and advanced reading, writing, and math skills. Most recently, her research interests have focused on children’s learning in the classroom – from preschool through fifth grade – with particular focus on reading comprehension and mathematics, children living in poverty, and how technology might improve the instruction they receive. This line of research is revealing how the effectiveness of specific instructional activities depends on the language, self-regulation, and reading or math skills children bring with them to school; these child-by-instruction interaction effects are evident as early as preschool and continue at least through third grade for a number of child language, literacy, and math outcomes.

Carol Connor, longtime resident of the Big Island has a longtime involvement with the Aloha Performing Arts Copy and Aloha Theatre starting with performing in Man of La Mancha in 1986 with Stan Michaels, directed by Luna Edwards. About that time Carol took her acting skills into radio broadcasting and was a popular morning personality for years. Of recent she has been handling much of the costuming for APAC.  Her two children were also very involved with Childrens Theatre years ago. I'm grateful for having had the opportunity to play Nurse Rached in Cuckoo's Nest years ago. Gave me first hand experience how hard everyone works on these productions. Carol reflects on all the wonderful demanding productions Jerry Tracy and everyone involved continue to produce. Currently it's "Evita" which sold out for opening weekend recently and runs through March 15.  “Even though it’s billed as a Broadway musical, it’s technically an opera because everything is sung,” says director Jerry Tracy. “Even the music directors both agree that it’s musically the most difficult show they’ve ever done...” -Evita” 7:30 p.m. Fridays,Saturdays 2:30 p.m. Sundays. $27-adults, $22-seniors, under 18 yr. $10 Mamalahoa Highway in Kainaliu.  322-9924 apachawaii.org. - Carol and I also talk about the free recreational opportunities at the Kohala Coast Resorts... she had just enjoyed her day off at Waikoloa Beach Resort taking a walk around the resorts and  Anahoomalu Bay
