Lia Sandilos, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor of School Psychology at Lehigh University. Lia's research focuses on identifying ways to make schools and classrooms more welcoming and supportive environments for students and teachers. More specifically, her scholarship examines (a) the importance of quality teacher-child interactions and relationships for the educational outcomes of diverse learners and (b) methods for better understanding and supporting teachers’ own professional well-being. Lia has been involved in grant-funded research projects examining a range of topics, including instructional processes that facilitate students’ character/social-emotional skills, the measurement of teacher well-being, and effective instruction for English learners. Most recently, she developed the Measure of Stressors and Supports for Teachers (MOST), which is a teacher-report questionnaire aimed at better understanding teacher well-being in the school setting.
