Academic interests

Jennifer is working with classroom observation research. She has a special interest in how to measure and understand teaching quality, and is inspired by comparative education, multicultural education, and special education. Her research critically explores how different observational measures and frameworks provide different understandings of what is considered "quality teaching".
