Some of the courses that Diandra teaches at Crandall include: Addressing the Needs of Struggling Learners in Mathematics; Science Education; Diversity, Inclusion, and Theories of Racism in Education; and Cultural Literacy in Diverse Classrooms.

Diandra’s research is focused on exploring educational programs/methods that redress issues that marginalized youth encounter in schooling and often involves minority racialized groups, those with low socioeconomic status, FNIM, and those in the justice system. She is well informed by her experiences growing up in an urban neighbourhood and teaching in various settings, including a remote fly-in community.
