- Research:
- My research and teaching center on working with teachers to better understand how to support children's mathematical understandings. To do this work, I am interested in designing and studying teachers' professional communities in which all members of the mathematics teaching profession (pre-service, in-service and leaders) collaboratively engage in examining practice, and artifacts of practice. My recent work investigates how professional communities develop discourse to inquire into mathematics and the teaching and learning of mathematics. In particular, I am examining how providers of professional development may learn to facilitate more robust understandings of mathematics with teachers.
