Research

Our research uses digital technologies to examine the extent that teachers adjust their feedback in response to student learning needs. We examine the frequency of the quality of feedback provided to individual students as learning unfolds during a lesson. This helps us understand measures of equity including when feedback was provide, often often, how long, and the impact of feedback on changes in student responses. We use data visualizations to examine the quality of feedback in relation to time during a mini lesson.

Agile Thinking: Deciding to Teach Every Student. (2019). Simulations in Teacher Education conference (NSF Grant #1813476), Louisville, KY.


We conduct research with teachers examining how professional learning can support teaching in building inclusive learning communities through daily teaching practices. We pay special attention to engaging in the challenges that teachers encounter when wrestling with their goals and values and time and curriculum constraints across grade levels, subject areas, and school contexts.
