Specialization

At the core of my research agenda is the firm belief that teachers’ matter. That is, the roles they play within society, by shaping the cultures of individual classrooms, schools, and in national discourse, matter greatly to the well-being and success of our communities. I enact this belief by finding ways to support teachers’ work. However, to support teachers’ practice also means understanding teachers, in particular, their beliefs and motivation, knowledge, epistemic cognition, and how they develop teaching expertise. Further, these areas work in tandem to support or hinder teachers’ development and well-being. The primary foci of my research agenda include investigations into: Teachers’ Beliefs, Motivation, and Knowledge; Classroom Assessment; Epistemic Cognition; and Expertise Development.
