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
