My primary focus is mathematics knowledge for teaching for K-12 mathematics teaching. This work happens through a variety of mechanisms: professional development for in-service math teachers, courses for pre- and in-service math teachers, grants to support the development of math teacher leader and professional development and research on secondary teacher practice. I am also interested in equity and diversity issues in STEM education.
