Primary Investigators
Hilda Borko
I am a professor of education at Stanford University. My research explores the process of learning to teach, with an emphasis on changes in novice and experienced teachers’ knowledge and beliefs about teaching and learning, and their classroom practices as they participate in teacher education and professional development programs. My teaching interests are in the related areas of classroom instructional processes, and teacher learning.
Jennifer Jacobs
I am a research faculty associate in the Institute of Cognitive Science at the University of Colorado at Boulder. My research interests include teaching practices and beliefs and professional development. In addition to this project, I am working with Nanette Seago and Mark Driscoll to develop video case materials for teacher professional development in the area of geometry.
Karen Koellner
I am an associate professor in mathematics education at the University of Colorado Denver. My research focuses on mathematics teacher development in conjunction with students’ mathematical thinking. My teaching interests center on teaching mathematics effectively for all students, teacher interpretations of student thinking using developmental frameworks, and the integration of literacy and mathematics. I am particularly interested in supporting intellectual community among teachers and students in mathematics.
Ed Wiley
I am an assistant professor of quantitative methods in educational policy at the University of Colorado-Boulder. My research centers on statistical development as well as analysis in the areas of value-added assessment, systems of school accountability, and teacher and principal quality and compensation.
