Blog | My First PI Meeting (2010 PI Meeting Reflection)
Participating in the 2010 DR K-12 PI meeting was an informative, inspiring, and unforgettable experience. I have never been so actively involved in an academic conference. I had numerous opportunities to interact with professionals of diverse research backgrounds of STEM education in various meaningful ways. What I heard and saw in the meeting have pushed me to think hard about the meaning and…

Blog | Polish and Parents (2010 PI Meeting Reflection)
The two memorable revelations for me of the 2010 DR K-12 PI meeting were the exceptionally polished software products on display and the lack of discussion about parental responsibility for learning. Speaking as a software developer, the quality of the software products was an awakening in that projects are no longer content to create materials that are not commercial production quality. This is…

Blog | Access to Challenging and Engaging Mathematical Problems for Students with Mild Disabilities (2010 PI Meeting Reflection)
As a researcher who studies mathematics interventions for students with mild disabilities, the principles of universal design presented in the SmartGraphs software by the Concord Consortium were encouraging to me. Considering the difficulties that students with learning disabilities in mathematics and students with mild intellectual disabilities have with working memory, the multiple, user-…

Blog | Research Through Partnerships (2010 PI Meeting Reflection)
A primary goal of education research is to inform and benefit the everyday work of practitioners, yet often it is hard to establish and maintain partnerships between groups. What is so difficult about building relationships to bridge this divide? Teachers and administrators have demanding schedules and responsibilities, so it is hard for schools to take the time and energy to work with…

Blog | Are We Throwing Out the Baby with the Bath Water? (2010 PI Meeting Reflection)
Shortly after my 10th birthday, Neil Armstrong took “one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” This was a short 11 years after the creation of NASA, which was just one of the political-technical reactions to the successful Soviet launch of the first Earth satellite, Sputnik 1. How were these brilliant American and Russian scientists and engineers educated in the mathematical sciences?…

Blog | The Water is Not So Wide, After All (2010 PI Meeting Reflection)
Accountability has certainly become a theme in educational pursuits, and so when I write that I found it to be a thread running through and connecting my experiences at the December meeting of DR K-12 project principal investigators, you may not be surprised—but I was. I am talking here not of accountability in terms of completing the many reports required of National Science Foundation (NSF)…
