Linda Simonsen
- Associate Professor
INTERESTS Linda's interests include making effective use of different modes of
delivery to teach mathematics to diverse learners. In support of this objective, her research focuses
on the nature and quality of mathematical discourse in on-line settings. This research stems from her
extensive work developing internet courses on the teaching of mathematics and statistics specifically
designed to meet the needs of place-bound practicing mathematics and science teachers.

Fred Stevenson
- Professor
INTERESTS For the past few years, my main interest has
been in improving mathematics education throughout the city and
the region through the Center of Recruitment and Retention of
Secondary Mathematics Teachers. The Center originated as an
outreach initiative of the University but it has now become a
fully collaborative enterprise with the school districts. I
founded the Center and I am the primary University faculty
member in charge of directing its activities.

Stephen Willoughby
INTERESTS The improvement of teaching and learning of
mathematics through research, through the writing of books and
articles, through talks at professional meetings, and through
political action of one sort or another.
CURRENT PROJECTS:
Revision of a series of elementary school mathematics textbooks
and writing a book for a general audience regarding things wrong
with education and what teachers, administrators, and other
citizens can do to improve conditions. Beyond this, I remain
active in the affairs of NCTM and speak at various
professional meetings.

INTERESTS I am interested in the interaction between mathematicians, mathematics
educators, and mathematics teachers. I believe in that learning is a
life-long issue. Being open to new experiences is the best way of
learning, and collaboration is the only way to open oneself up.

INTERESTS My interests in mathematics education include
teacher preparation, in-service teacher professional development,
and student learning. As a CEMELA fellow and a facilitator for the
TIMEx3 workshop, I actively participate in preparing pre-service
K-8 teachers and provide professional development for in-service
teachers. Furthermore, as part of CEMELA, I am researching middle
school student beliefs about mathematics, their growth as problem
solvers, and their willingness to productively struggle with
cognitively demanding tasks.
