My primary research trajectory focuses on understanding student cognition across the Earth and weather sciences domain by developing, field-testing, and nationally disseminating comprehensive Earth and weather science assessment instruments that systematically measure student learning and are aligned to US national standards reform documents (e.g. Next Generation Science Standards).
Additionally, my research focuses on the academic success in the sciences of students in underserved schools and preservice teachers' understanding of the three-dimensional Next Generation Science Standards.
