Julie A. Luft, the Athletic Association Professor in the department of mathematics and science education, directs the Secondary Science Teacher Education Research Lab. The research group focuses on the learning and instruction of secondary science teachers. Currently, Luft has three research projects underway, each of which focus on different areas associated with secondary science teacher education.
Graduate students play an important role in these projects by helping to design interventions and materials, collecting and analyzing data, and presenting their own associated work. Typically, there are weekly group meetings for various projects. Graduate students can complete research internships in these different programs or can ask about research funding (based on availability).
