After receiving her PhD from the University of Ottawa in 2010, Martha completed a SSHRC postdoctoral fellowship at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education before joining the Faculty of Education at the University of Manitoba. She specializes in mathematics education and educational assessment. Through various forms of professional service, Martha works with pre-service and in-service teachers as they continue to develop their practice in inquiry-based mathematics and classroom assessment. Her research focuses on gaining a better understanding of how classroom teachers gather information about teaching and learning and use that information to guide their practice.
