Overall Research Project Description In this multi-year project, my research team is working with teachers of students with disabilities to develop a comprehensive curriculum to teach mathematical problem solving. Modified Schema Based Instruction (MSBI) is an established instructional strategy that helps students map key information from a word problem onto a relevant schema (diagram) while completing relevant steps to help solve the mathematical word problem. We will work with teachers in Leon County Schools to implement MSBI in their classroom. During the project we will monitor teacher implementation, student progression, and
will continuously meet with the teachers to revise instructional materials and provide feedback on instructional sessions.

Research Tasks For example, UROP students who are interested in classroom behaviors or education, UROPs might visit schools to record sessions or collect data. UROP students who are interested in learning more about single case research design or intervention research can learn to code videos, record data, and interpret findings. Individuals who are interested in using technology to enhance student learning can help in the creation of digital materials including iPad applications or video word problems. Finally, UROP students who are interested in the management of instructional or research materials, they can assist in the development of necessary materials (e.g. printing, laminating, cutting, organizing, PowerPoint creation).

Skills that research assistant(s) may need: Recommended: experience of working with individuals with disabilities, interest in education

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.
