Research interests
Amy Roth McDuffie conducts research on the professional
development of preservice and practicing teachers in
mathematics education. She focuses on professional
growth toward more student-centered approaches that
incorporate current research and theory on how students
come to understand mathematics.
Teaching/professional interests
Roth McDuffie regularly teaches methods of teaching
mathematics courses, including Mathematics Methods for
Elementary and Middle School for undergraduate
preservice teachers and graduate Masters in Teaching
students, and Research in Elementary Mathematics
Education for practicing elementary teachers who are
Masters in Education students.
