Julie Amador is Associate Dean for Research and Faculty Development and Professor of Mathematics Education in the College of Education, Health, and Human Sciences.
Amador came to North 幸运快三 from Indiana University, Bloomington, where she worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the Center for Research on Learning and Technology. She has taught in elementary and in university classrooms, served as an instructional coach for new mathematics teachers, trained adult volunteers to serve as tutors, and has served on district and state department of education boards, shaping district and state teaching standards and policies.
Her research focuses on the design and enactment of mathematics lessons with an emphasis on student thinking and reasoning as related to professional noticing. She is specifically interested in how practicing and pre-service teachers construct models of student mathematical thinking based on professional noticing and engage in Lesson Study.
Amador holds a doctoral degree in curriculum, teaching and learning and a master's degree in educational leadership, from the University of Nevada, Reno, and a bachelor's degree in elementary education from California State University, Fresno.
