My research interests are in the teaching and learning of statistics. I am also interested in measurement and assessment as it relates to statistics education research. A further interest if mine is in statistical computing and in thinking about different ways to integrate computing into the statistics curriculum. I am currently a co-PI on two National Science Foundation (NSF) funded projects. One is to develop and evaluate an innovative, model-based curriculum for introductory statistics (CATALST). The other is to develop a survey of statistics teachers’ practices and beliefs (STEPS).

Are you interested in finding a graduate program in statistics education?
