About the Author:
Elise Lahiere

I am a Doctoral Candidate in the Mathematics Education Ph.D. program at Montclair State University, where I also earned my Bachelor's in Mathematics and my Master's in Statistics. I have always been interested in the field of education, and explore this passion through teaching and research.

​

I worked for eight years as a Course Coordinator at Montclair State University in the Red Hawk Math Active Learning Center. My responsibilities varied greatly, but mainly focused on teaching, content development, providing multiple forms of support for students, and training tutors and graduate assistants. I always look for ways to improve instruction, both through pedagogy and technology, and strive to improve my abilities as a teacher through education and research.

​

Besides working as a research assistant, I am currently working on a group research project focusing on mathematical modeling with pre-service teachers, as well as starting the dissertation phase of my program by developing my literature review.
