Dr. Michelle Cirillo was selected by the National Science
Foundation to receive a Faculty Early Career Development Award for her work in
secondary mathematics education. The $874,000 grant, Proof in Secondary Classrooms: Decomposing a Central Mathematical
Practice, will support a five year study focused on improving the teaching
and learning of proof in high school mathematics classrooms. Cirillo will make
use of data and findings from a previous exploratory study to develop materials
to be piloted and improved through cycles of lesson study. The goal is to
publish a professional development program for high school teachers and develop
a theoretical framework focused on decomposing this important mathematical practice.
