肯尼迪学院
詹姆斯C. 肯尼迪学院 for 教育al Success seeks to identify innovative and cost-effective means for promoting and sustaining the educational success of vulnerable children from early childhood through post-secondary education. 感谢詹姆斯·C. 肯尼迪, the Institute established a program endowment which supports the research and operations of three faculty chairs in the 莫里奇教育学院.
Dedicated to applied research and dissemination of knowledge in the area of early childhood education
Dr. 道格拉斯。H. 克莱门茨, 肯尼迪 Endowed Chair in Early Childhood Learning
道格拉斯。H. 克莱门茨 is a 肯尼迪 Endowed Chair in Early Childhood Learning; Executive Director, Marsico研究所 for Early Learning and Literacy; and Professor at the 莫里奇教育学院 at the yzcca88游戏登录网址. He was previously a SUNY Distinguished Professor of 教育 at the University of Buffalo, SUNY. 曾任学前班和幼儿园教师, his present research interests are in the areas of the learning and teaching of early mathematics and computer applications. He has published over 100 research studies, 8 books, 50 chapters, and 250 additional publications. His latest books detail research-based learning trajectories in early mathematics education: Early childhood mathematics education research: Learning trajectories for young children and a companion book, Learning and teaching early math: The learning trajectories approach (Routledge). Dr. 克莱门茨 has directed 20 projects funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the U.S. 部门. 教育科学研究所(IES). 目前,博士. 克莱门茨 is Principal Investigator on two large-scale randomized cluster trial projects (IES). He is also working with colleagues to study and refine learning trajectories in measurement (NSF). Dr. 克莱门茨 was a member of President Bush's National Math Advisory Panel, convened to advise the administration on the best use of scientifically based research to advance the teaching and learning of mathematics and coauthor of the panel's report. He was also a member of the National 研究 Council's Committee on Early Mathematics and co-author of their report. He is one of the authors of NCTM's Principles and Standards in School Mathematics and 课程 Focal Points. Dr. 克莱门茨 teaches courses on early childhood mathematics, 幼儿教育技术, and the cognitive foundations of early childhood education. 除了, he works with over 350 teachers in three current projects that include professional development and collaborative research.
Dr. Julie Sarama, 肯尼迪 Endowed Chair in Innovative Technology
Julie Sarama is the 肯尼迪 Endowed Chair in Innovative Technology and Professor at the yzcca88游戏登录网址. She was previously a Professor of Mathematics 教育 at the University at Buffalo (SUNY). She conducts research on young children's development of mathematical concepts and competencies, 教育改革的实施和扩大, professional development models and their influence on student learning, and implementation and effects of her own software environments in mathematics classrooms, 发表论文50余篇, 4本书, 30章, 以及60份其他出版物. She has been Principal or Co-Principal Investigator on five projects funded by the National Science Foundation, including Building Blocks—Foundations for Mathematical Thinking, Pre-kindergarten to Grade 2: 研究-based Materials Development and Planning for Professional Development in Pre-School Mathematics: Meeting the Challenge of Standards 2000. She is co-directing two large-scale studies funded by the U.S. 教育 Department's Institute of 教育al Studies (IES). 第一个是二期工程, Scaling Up TRIAD: Teaching Early Mathematics for Understanding with Trajectories and Technologies was just awarded by the IES. The second is Increasing the Efficacy of an Early Mathematics 课程 with Scaffolding Designed to Promote Self-Regulation. Sarama was previously the lead co-PI at the Buffalo site on another IES-funded project, A Longitudinal study of the Effects of a Pre-Kindergarten Mathematics 课程 on Low-Income Children's Mathematical Knowledge (IES). This is one of seven national projects conducted simultaneously at the local and national levels (combined data) as part of the IES's Preschool 课程 Evaluation 研究 project. Dr. Sarama has taught secondary mathematics and computer science, 有中学水平的数学天赋, preschool and kindergarten mathematics enrichment classes, and mathematics methods and content courses for elementary to secondary teachers. She designed and programmed over 50 published computer programs, including her version of Logo and Logo-based software activities (Turtle Math, 该项目获得了 & Learning Software of the Year award, 1995, in the category "Math").
