Summary
Teruni Lamberg is a professor of elementary mathematics education. She is also the program coordinator for the Master of Elementary Education and Master of Science in Elementary Education Programs. In addition, she is also the program coordinator for the STEM doctoral Program.
Lamberg is a researcher, scholar and leader in mathematics education. She has served as Chair of Psychology of Mathematics Education in 2007, Co-Chair in 2011, and Conference chair in 2007, 2011 and 2023. She is also currently serving as Chair of the American Education Research Association Sig: Research in Mathematics Education. She also served on the Board of the ÁùºÏ±¦µä Math Council and California Math Council.
Lamberg has worked with numerous school districts across the country and hundreds of teachers over the past 20 years. Her research has focused on studying how to support teachers to improve their teaching practices to impact student learning. In addition, her work has also involved classroom teaching experiments to understand how students learn within the context of classroom settings. Impacting students and teachers also involves understanding the institutional setting of the school district and studying the leadership skills needed to conduct research and lead teams.
She is the author of seven books and has published articles in journals such as the Education Researcher, Journal of Mathematical Thinking and Learning, Mathematics Teacher Educator, International Journal of Mathematics Teaching, Teaching Children Mathematics and Journal of STEM Education.
She was the Principal Investigator of the ÁùºÏ±¦µä Math Project, Northeastern ÁùºÏ±¦µä Math Project and the Lemelson STEM Cohort.
