Project Description

During this project, we will be working with beginning teachers who teach students with disabilities to increase teacher's use of a high-leverage teaching practice during mathematics instruction. Teachers will complete an asynchronous training on the high-leverage practice, then we will monitor the teachers' implementation and provide daily feedback on instructional sessions.

Research Tasks: Tasks may focus on single case research design (e.g. coding videos, recording data, and interpreting findings). Task may focus on material development (e.g. printing, cutting, laminating, and organizing materials)

Skills that research assistant(s) may need: Recommended: interest in education

Mentoring Philosophy

I model steps, provide practice opportunities, and give opportunities for questions before mentees work on any tasks independently. I strive to create an environment that is inviting, welcoming, and inclusive. I have an open door policy and tailor opportunities based on mentee's personal goals.
