    Biography

    Scott Courtney is a Mathematics Education Associate Professor in the School of Teaching, Learning, and Curriculum Studies at Kent State University. He has directed multiple state-funded Mathematics and Science Partnership projects. His research interests include teachers’ conceptions of mathematics and statistics in grades 6-14, instructional engagements propitious for student development of intended ideas and ways of thinking, and teachers’ conceptions and ways of thinking that support or constrain their capacity to transform their cognition with cognitive structures that are more conceptually oriented. His current activities include: a project focused on mathematical literacy as a means to confront non-factual thinking and flawed reasoning, and to support decision-making; the development of synchronous online workshops and courses for mathematics teachers and math intervention specialists; and the formation of cross-district mathematics teacher collectives throughout the state of Ohio.
