Dr. Bulla has taught a variety of college level courses in the areas of Applied Behavior Analysis, Autism, Introduction to Psychology, Research Methods, Educational Psychology, Behavior Assessment, and Advanced Behavior Change Systems and Techniques. He believes that it is an honor and a privilege to be a part of someone’s education. In alignment with this view, he tries channel the words of Zig Engelmann and Ogden Lindsley: “If the student hasn’t learned, the teacher hasn’t taught,” and that “The student is always right.” Dr. Bulla has published papers in the areas of self-management and class-wide approaches to behavior management. His current research interests focus on behavioral approaches to education and schooling. More specifically, he has an interest in precision teaching, instructional design, direct instruction strategies, and behavior management in school settings.
