Current Research Interests

·        Impacts of Mathematics Outreach

o   When college students engage public school students in mathematics outreach who gets the benefit, why and how? What impact does this kind of activity have on students’ mathematical identities?

 

·        Preparation of Mathematics Teachers

o   How do effective mathematics teachers of emergent bilingual students know and teach mathematics, and what experiences in college can help preservice teachers to gain this knowledge?

 

·        Statistics Education

o   How do college/dual enrollment statistics instructors perceive confidence intervals versus p-values as tools for making statistical inference and how do these perceptions impact their teaching and their students’ appreciation for and understanding of statistics?
