Join me in May for a conversation about MTSS in math! www.mtssassociation.org/pre-summit-w...

Say congrats to Dr. Katie Mason! She defended her dissertation today - an interesting analysis about behavior and math across grade levels! Next up? She's moving to Research Scientist position at UT Austin! Way to go, Dr. Mason!

Warmest congrats to Dr. Mackenna Vander Tuin! She defended her dissertation today, and she learned that use of math storybooks by teachers led to improved student math vocabulary. Next up? Assistant Professor at the University of Arkansas. So proud of you, Mack!

Say hello to Dr. Mao! Jessica Mao defended her dissertation today. She did an RCT about fraction addition and subtraction! Next? She'll be an Assistant Professor at the Univ of California, Riverside. So proud of her!

Very happy to have hosted Dr. Terhi Vessonen at UT Austin the past few days. We talked a lot about math, she shared her research on word problems, and we ate a lot of Tex Mex! You are welcome to come back any time, Terhi!

Many congrats to Dr. Alison Hardy! She defended her dissertation today! She conducted a very ambitious study about the role of problem posing within word-problem tutoring. Next up? Assistant Professor at the University of Tennessee. Yay, Dr. Hardy!

Excellent day in Spokane working with educators on their math instructional practices. Thanks for the invite, Stephanie and Bill!

Join me on Friday, April 10th! euromathsoc.org/news/ems-lec...

Congratulations to Dr. Syeda Sharjina Akther! She defended her dissertation today - a deep dive into the fraction strategies used by teachers. Well done, Dr. Akther!

This afternoon at #CEC2026! Join the PRIME team for sessions on fractions and math vocabulary!

It warms my heart to spend time with this PRIME team! Last night's dinner included 3 research leads (Clint, Megan, Kate), 6 current students (Kerri, Jason, Kayla, Mackenna, Jess, Syeda), 4 former students (Danielle, Tessa, Sarah, Melissa), and 1 former postdoc (Genesis).

Very proud of my former student Danielle! She won an award from the Council for Exceptional Children's Division for Research for best quantitative dissertation!

Go talk to members of the PRIME team about their #math posters! Tomorrow (Friday) morning!

At #CEC2026? Join the PRIME team tomorrow (Friday) morning for sessions on word problems and math fluency!

Join the PRIME team this afternoon (Thursday) at #CEC2026! Math sessions on fractions, math writing, and word problems!

Lots of great posters from the PRIME team! Go talk to them tomorrow morning!

Come join the PRIME team tomorrow (Thursday) morning at #CEC2026. Our morning sessions focus on math vocabulary and math representations!

At #CEC2026? Come join us TODAY for these math sessions from the PRIME team!

Very excited to be in California talking about #math intervention and word problems with this incredible group of paraeducators!

After 1000+ flights, this is my last Southwest flight where I choose my seat. Next Friday, it will be an assigned seat. Eek! Feels like an end of an era.

Had a fun holiday party with the PRIME team! We created our own felt trees, exchanged prime gifts, and shared many laughs. This group is one of the best parts of my job!

So excited to see my dissertation published online! Thank you to @sarahpowellphd.bsky.social for your support in making this happen!

Happy to have spent the day in Ohio with NOBIDA. I appreciate a dyslexia group that understands the importance of math! It was also nice to see Ohio friends (Lindsay and Sam)! OH!

It was an honor to spend yesterday at West Texas A&M as the speaker for their Helen Piehl Distinguished Lecture. I met so many nice people and enjoyed great conversations about math. We talked a lot about math learning being cumulative and about the language of math!

It's such an honor to receive the Eminent Researcher Award from Learning Difficulties Australia. While my name is on the award, everything is a team effort! I'm so grateful to the PRIME leads and doc students as well as the teachers and students who participate in our research.

New publication! Read about math vocabulary in the US and China!

Need information about #math intervention? Look no further! intensiveintervention.org/training/cou...

Excited to work a bit more on word-problem solving with our RAAMPS team. This year, we are doing problem posing within Pirate Math Equation Quest! www.piratemathequationquest.com

What a wonderful week at SMU with our LIME students. Here we are with our 6 LIME students who will graduate in 2026!

Project STAIR is our project focused on data-based decision making in math. Check out our YouTube channel for all kinds of math videos! www.youtube.com/channel/UCE2...
