Marta Civil
- Professor
INTERESTS Teacher education (understanding of mathematics and
beliefs about teaching and learning mathematics) and equity in
mathematics education; in particular, a socio-cultural approach to
the mathematics education of ethnic and language minority students
(school age and adults); parental involvement in mathematics.

Jennifer Eli
- Assistant Professor
INTERESTSMy research in mathematics education utilizes the Mathematics Knowledge for Teaching (MKT) framework (Ball, Thames, & Phelps, 2008) as a theoretical lens to drive efforts in improving and supporting the preparation of secondary mathematics teachers. My areas of focus include: 1) identifying, describing, and developing MKT geometry; 2) investigating the types of mathematical connections prospective teachers make when engaged in tasks of teaching; 3) determining effective ways to mentor student teachers by examining the professional interactions among mentor teachers, university supervisors, and student teachers; and 4) investigating ways in which to support mathematics teacher educators in their work with future teachers.

Mathew Felton
- Assistant Professor
INTERESTSMy research interests focus on pre- and in-service teacher knowledge, conceptions, and beliefs about mathematics education, primarily in the elementary grades. In particular, I focus on teachers' views of mathematics as a social and political activity including the role of diversity in mathematics, using mathematics to investigate issues of social justice, and how the teaching and learning of mathematics sends messages about issues of race, culture, class, gender, and other markers of difference in our society.

INTERESTS For the past few years, my main interest has been in improving mathematics education throughout the city and region through the Center for 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, directed it for many years, and continue to work with its staff and its various initiatives.

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.

Tal Sutton (College of Education)
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.
