From the Office of Research and Graduate Education: Congratulations to recent grant recipients
Adapting Science Teaching in Regions Impacted by Climate Change
- PI: Emily Adah Miller, assistant professor, Department of Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies Education
- Sponsor: National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine
- Amount: $76,000
Congratulations to Emily Adah Miller on receiving an award from the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine for a project that will use PL, reflective interviews, and observation of science teaching to explore how teachers can learn about students’ lived experiences, and then create and implement adaptations that anchor science learning in the hazardous impact of climate change.
CAREER: Equity Focused Elementary Mathematics: Creating Virtual Mathematics Communities in Rural Georgia
- PI: Susan Cannon, assistant professor, Department of Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies Education
- Sponsor: National Science Foundation Discovery Research Pre-K-12
- Amount: $1,205,086
Congratulations to Susan Cannon on receiving a National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award from the Discovery Research Pre-K-12 program. This project aims to provide in-service and beginning elementary school teachers increased opportunities to refine their mathematics teaching to support minoritized youth in racially diverse rural Georgia communities with less access to elementary mathematics specialists.
