Research and Teaching Interests

Dr. Roddy teaches mathematics/science education courses with an emphasis on active learning pedagogy.  He teaches an assessment methods course for secondary teacher candidates.  In the summer, he usually teaches a course on active learning in math and science with an emphasis on the use of educational technology to enhance learner engagement, and another course in mathematics for K-8 teachers.  His teaching emphasizes active engagement and connections between hands-on experiences and cognition.  His research interests are currently centered on the use of active learning pedagogy to effect learner and teacher engagement in mathematics and science education.  (See his website on 鈥�,鈥� for an informal introduction in the context of mathematics education.) 

Biography

Dr. Roddy earned his undergraduate degree in mathematics as well as his teacher certification at the University of California at Riverside.  He has taught middle and secondary school mathematics, and coached track and cross country at the high school level. He began teaching at 新澳门六合彩开奖结果 in 1992 after earning a MS in Atmospheric Science and a PhD in Mathematics Education at the University of Washington.  He taught Meteorology 101 at Bellevue College and at the University of Washington while working on his PhD.  While at 新澳门六合彩开奖结果 he has served as the Puget Sound regional director for the  and currently directs the team project component of the WSMC's state high school mathematics contest.  Dr. Roddy received a Fulbright Lecturing and Research Award that took him and his family to the University of Limerick, Ireland, 2000 - 2001.  He has taken two sabbaticals at Western Sydney University in Australia.  His most recent recent sabbatical (2020-21) gave him the time to write a series of 鈥�,鈥� recently published on the website of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics.
