| Overall Research Project Description | In this multi-year project, my research team is collaborating with teachers of students with disabilities to develop a comprehensive curriculum aimed at enhancing mathematical problem-solving skills. The curriculum is based on Modified Schema Based Instruction (MSBI), an established instructional strategy that assists students in mapping key information from word problems onto relevant schemas (diagrams) while following systematic steps to solve these problems. For this year, our primary focus is on the dissemination of findings from our study. This involves sharing our results and insights with a broader audience through various channels, including academic publications, presentations, and social media. By disseminating our findings, we aim to contribute to the broader educational community and improve teaching practices for students with disabilities. |

| Mentoring Philosophy | In the past, I have prioritized aligning the interests and likes of my UROP researchers with ongoing research endeavors through experiential learning opportunities. I take intentional steps to model and provide multiple opportunities for practice before application. Additionally, I create an environment that is inviting, welcoming, and inclusive of all with an open door policy for all members of my lab. |
