She directs Boise State’s Regional Math Center, where she leads a team of math specialists supporting K-8 teachers and districts across the state, and her research draws on measurement and validity theory to develop instruments that capture teachers’ proportional reasoning, attentiveness to student thinking, and instructional beliefs. She designs and studies large-scale professional development for mathematics teacher educators, and her scholarship appears in journals such as the Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, Applied Measurement in Education, and Mathematics Teacher Educator.
