Crystal Walcott

My name is Crystal Walcott. I am a 1988 graduate of the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks. There I received a B.S. in mathematics and a teaching endorsement in middle grades and secondary mathematics. For several years I taught middle grades, high school, and college-level mathematics in North Dakota, Minnesota, and Indiana. In 2000 I received a Master of Information Science degree from IU-Bloomington. Before returning to IUB in 2003 to pursue a Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction I worked at IU Center for Innovation in Assessment as a web applications programmer and a mathematics content specialist. While completing my doctoral coursework at IUB I worked as a research assistant on a NAEP (National Assessment of Educational Progress) Mathematics secondary analysis project and on a reform curriculum evaluation project. In the summer of 2005 I completed my Ph.D. coursework and successfully defended my dissertation in November of 2006. During the 2006-2007 academic year I worked as a visiting faculty member in teacher education at Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI). I am currently employed as an assistant professor of education at Indiana University Purdue University Columbus (IUPUC). My research interests include the uses of technology in math classrooms and mathematics learning in contexts.
