Leta Deithloff, Ph.D. 
Leta Deithloff has been teaching and designing developmental integrated reading/writing courses at the University of Texas at Austin since 2008. She earned her Ph.D. in educational psychology and Master of Arts in program evaluation from The University of Texas. She also holds a bachelor’s degree in English from Texas A&M. Despite many fulfilling years in a variety of college classrooms and the honor of the Hairston Prize for Excellence in Teaching, it is the partnering with hesitant students as they successfully transition into college that keeps her coming back to the integrated classroom. She now shares the principles learned from practical, authentic coursework with others, hoping to challenge and develop the “whole” student. Always learning, she welcomes information on high quality activities for the classroom.
