    Biography

    In the Froebel Department I teach educational research methods and I am a dissertation advisor for the BEd and PMEd programs. I also supervise students on school placement.  Before joining the Froebel Department, I was a Professor at Thompson Rivers University in British Columbia, Canada where I am currently a Professor Emerita. My area of research is student-centred, inquiry-based science education. I am a Past President of The Science Education Research Group of Canada.
