Terri Bucci

I am an associate professor and researcher in mathematics education. My areas of expertise and interest are in the fields of mathematics education and international teacher education. I am interested in primary school preservice and inservice teacher education in Haiti. I have worked collaboratively with Haitian and US colleagues toward imported education and teacher training in this, one of the poorest of countries in the world. I am interested in the potential of collaborative international work on the improvement of primary education. I am also interested in the connections between the five mathematical process standards (communications, connections, representations, problem solving, and reasoning and proof) and how these principles translate to teaching and teacher education across the curriculum.I am currently involved in a collaborative project which connects the human, intellectual, and fiscal resources between US faculty of education and our Haitian colleagues. Through this work, faculty from the US spend short-term placements in a regional campus of education in the countryside of Haiti.My past research and writing has been on the comparison between research paradigms and pedagogy in expert teachers of mathematics and on technology in teacher education. I hold a teaching certificate in elementary teaching (K-8) and secondary mathematics and general science teaching. I have 4 years of public school teaching experience in middle school mathematics and science and 10 years experience in teaching high school mathematics.
