Currently, my interests involve looking at supports for teacher learning and how these supports affect teacher practice and ultimately student learning. Specifically, I am looking at a yearlong professional development opportunity for teachers working with a reform science curriculum. I am interested in what the teachers learn from PD, how they incorporate their new knowledge or beliefs into the enactment of the curriculum, and what effect this has on student factors, such as engagement and learning.
