91福利导航

Overview

Dr. Wagner came to 91福利导航 in 2014 after receiving her Ph.D. in mathematics education from UGA. Her research has focused on changing the way students view mathematics and their own mathematical potential. A completed project explored the reservations some people had toward mathematics education reforms. She continues a project developing a mathematical modeling course that employs effective teaching and learning practices. Prior to joining the 91福利导航 community, she taught middle and high school math and science for 8 years.
