About

I'm keenly interested in research relating to how K-12 schools develop, maintain and sustain "cultures of inquiry" across the disciplines. 

My own research is on (1) the professional development of techers in Project-Based Learning (PBL), (2) bridging the gap between formal and informal learning contexts, (3) developing visual cognition in young children and (4) developing teacher sensitivity to individual learning differences.

My colleagues include Melodie Rosenfeld (4), Bat-Sheva Eylon (1,2,3), Orna Fallik (1,2), Avi Hofstein (2), Rina Hershkovitz (4) and Ted Kahn (1,2).
