I work in two parallel universes, the 科学与数学教育中心 and the 物理与天文学系 here at 韦伯州立. 尽管我被物理系聘用，但我的大部分工作都是专门从事科学教育的。 我的研究重点是学生和教师如何理解科学是什么，以及科学如何在课堂和其他学习空间中得到体现。 I get to collaborate on projects including our NSF funded 推动项目 that provides scholarships and 新葡京app 新葡京app for future science and math teachers. I work with classroom teachers at all levels, but I've also worked with dancers and poets and ski jumpers. 有 例子和故事。

学习

我认为教育是我们最伟大的发明之一，我喜欢教书。 The best person I know how to be is the one that I get to be as an educator. 我教授物理课程（从基础物理到高级实验）和科学教育（包括科学教学方法和基础科学背书课程）。 I feel like I do a pretty good job with these but I'm also always reconsidering what I'm doing, so my courses are always in flux. Most recently in my career I've been rethinking how we "cover content" in science courses and instead try to link science learning to shared student experiences that they can collectively build into coherent models, sensibilites, and identities. I'm sure that I'll keep rethinking and reconsidering this. More 课程细节和想法都在我的教学页面上.

单词

In addition to 研究 I do, I get to contribute a monthly newspaper column 这里编译. I also create 这些是关于科学教育的材料 for teachers and students I work with, and other writing gets piled into 这个博客 occasionally.
