About Me
Joni Falk co-directs the Center for School Reform at TERC, a nonprofit research and development institution aimed at improving mathematics and science teaching and learning. Her work has focused on creating and researching electronic learning communities. She created an electronic community to connect middle and high school girls in a mentorship program with female scientists (Eyes to the Future) as well as several communities developed for leaders engaged in educational reform. These have included MSPnet.org, a network created for NSF’s Math Science Partnership Program and the IGERT Resource Center (IGERT.org). She is co-editor of, and a contributor to, a recently published book entitled “Creating and Sustaining Online Professional Learning Communities.”
Falk’s other funded NSF research projects include a study of schools implementing an inquiry-based approach to science teaching as well as a study of schools experimenting with ubiquitous computing environments.
