During that time she has served both the FIU local, state, and national community in many realms including as Program Leader for Special Education on campus, President of the Florida Council for Exceptional Children, and President of the Council for Exceptional Children Division of Diverse Learners. Her research focuses primarily on preparing teachers to work with students with disabilities who are culturally and linguistically diverse in inclusive settings. Dr. Cramer has published dozens of peer reviewed journal articles and a book in this area. She has been a recipient of eight OSEP grants in the past eight years totaling over $7 million. These projects all aim to prepare culturally and linguistically diverse special educators and academic leaders to be highly effective in educating all students in urban settings.
