research overview

  • I take a design based research perspective when working with education stakeholders to produce, evaluate, and scale infrastructures that support preservice and practicing science teachers in enacting research-based and equity-seeking pedagogies. I use diverse methodologies for evaluation, including ethnography, multi-variate and hierarchical regression, factor analysis, and mixed methods.
