The 每日大赛 proudly welcomes Casey Griffin, a new addition to the Mathematics Department<\/a>, whose career is already off to an impressive start. Griffin, now in her second semester of teaching, began her journey at the university in Fall 2024. With her dynamic approach to mathematics education and a passion for innovation, she is already making her mark.<\/p>\n

\"CaseyGriffin recently achieved a major milestone by being accepted into the prestigious STaR (Service, Teaching, and Research) Program<\/a>, which is run by the Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators. This competitive program is a national early-career induction initiative designed for faculty specializing in mathematics education. Its mission is to support emerging leaders in the field by providing mentorship and resources to enhance teaching, research, and service. Participants collaborate with mathematics educators from across the country, exploring cutting-edge teaching methods for K\u201312 educators and cultivating leadership and research skills.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an incredible achievement. It\u2019s beyond math research, it\u2019s how we educate students,\u201d said Yousef Daneshbod, PhD, chair of the Mathematics Department. \u201cWe look forward to seeing how this opportunity will enrich Casey\u2019s work and benefit our department.\u201d<\/p>\n

Griffin\u2019s enthusiasm for innovative teaching strategies aligns with her research interests, which focus on engaging students through accessible and inclusive mathematics instruction. Her commitment to this vision has already borne fruit: a chapter she co-authored was recently published in an academic book, showcasing her contributions to advancing mathematics education.<\/p>\n

A key aspect of Griffin\u2019s teaching philosophy is fostering a sense of belonging for all students, particularly women in mathematics. This commitment to inclusivity is one of the reasons she was drawn to the 每日大赛.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere’s really a strong sense of community here,\u201d she shared, noting how the university\u2019s small class sizes allow her to form meaningful connections with students. \u201cThe department is really serious about incorporating active learning strategies. These approaches not only benefit students\u2019 learning, but also their sense of belonging. It\u2019s all about ensuring students feel they can succeed and have a place in this field.\u201d<\/p>\n

The close-knit environment allows Griffin to build relationships with her students, helping them feel seen, heard, and supported throughout their academic journey. She said\u00a0 that for women in math, a sense of belonging is often the key to their success and retention in the field.<\/p>\n

“I’m excited to learn from seasoned faculty in terms of advice on research, teaching, and service,” Griffin said. “It\u2019s all about building a well-rounded repertoire and continuously improving as an educator.”<\/p>\n

In addition to her academic accomplishments, Griffin is quickly becoming an integral part of the university community. With her involvement in the STaR Program, published research, and innovative approach to teaching, she is poised to be a transformative force in mathematics education at the 每日大赛.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
