CURRICULUM MATERIALS DEVELOPED

As a post-doctoral fellow at Vanderbilt University’s Learning Technology Center I worked on a team funded by the

National Science Foundation to develop curriculum materials to promote useful assessment practices in middle

school mathematics classrooms. The “SMART” programs (Special Multimedia Arenas for Refining Thinking)

serve to complement episodes in the “Jasper Woodbury Problem Solving Series in Mathematics” produced by the

LTC and distributed through Lawrence Erlbaum Associates. Further information can be found in the publication by

Barron et al. listed below where my contribution to the project is acknowledged on page 307.
