University of Colorado Denver associate professor Heather Johnson, PhD, received a $1,599,774 grant from the National Science Foundation last week. Johnson is an associate professor in CU Denver’s School of Education & Human Development where she focuses her work on STEM education. The grant-winning project, Promoting Mathematical Reasoning and Transforming Instruction in College Algebra (ITsCRITiCAL), is a collaboration with Metropolitan State University of Denver, Santa Fe Community College, and Texas State University.
“We want math classes to be places where students can engage in reasoning, not just find answers,” Johnson said. “We collaborate with faculty across institutions to create spaces where that can happen.”
