Dr. Brandt's research is centered on elementary teacher's nonverbal immediacy behaviors during instruction. Her goal is to lead current and preservice teachers to become more aware of their instructional and non-instructional nonverbal behaviors to positively impact student learning. Her newest research endeavors are on incorporating active learning components into her teachings for university students to experience and then use themselves as they plan lessons and activities for today's elementary and middle school students.
