Biography
As Director of Strategic Initiatives, Beth works to drive research development in the College of Education, from two angles.

She frequently organizes research teams or collaborative groups to author and edit proposals and white papers. From 2015-2020, she also served as Managing Editor for the Journal of Research in Science Teaching.
