Teaching Interests & Areas
I enjoy teaching at the undergraduate level in the elementary and middle school mathematics education programs. At the graduate level I teach theory and research coursed in the Master's and Doctoral programs.
Research Interests & Areas
My research is focused on two main areas of interest: the development of elementary and middle school students' probabilistic and statistical reasoning and issues related to teacher development
