Audrey Altieri ’14, MAT ’17 (
audreyaltieri@gmail.com) recently graduated with a Masters of Public Policy (MPP) specific to Education Policy from Vanderbilt University (May 2021). She was hired as an Education Consultant for the North Carolina State Board of Education and accepted as a Strategic Data Project Fellow at Center for Education Policy Research at Harvard University.
What she says about her Miami experience:
I would not be where I am today without my Miami experience. I am still in contact with my cohort peers and professors today. They shaped my experiences as a teacher which continue to drive the work I do toward more equitable public education.
Since graduating from Miami University, I moved to Denver, Colorado and started a doctorate program at University of Colorado Denver. I am in my second year of the program and am obtaining a PhD in Mathematics Education. I plan to graduate in 2024 and hopefully find a position at a university where I can work with preservice math teachers.
Additionally, I am currently working for Dr. Heather Johnson (my advisor) on an NSF-funded project called ITsCRITiCAL. I am the project manager for this project. ITsCRITiCAL addresses a significant problem in U.S. undergraduate mathematics education: the overemphasis on finding the right answer. We intend to decrease the emphasis on answer finding, and increase the emphasis on mathematical reasoning in high enrollment lower division mathematics courses.
Lastly, I was just recently published (for the first time!) in the Ohio Journal of School Mathematics. The article is called "Interrogating Data to Explore Digital Inequity." It presents a statistics lesson about the digital divide that incorporates the GAISE II framework. Students use FCC data to analyze broadband access across the country and learn about issues of digital inequity.
I have great memories of learning from the math education "dream team" of Dr. Harper, Dr. Cox, Dr. Edwards, Dr. Nirode, Dr. Keiser, Dr. Wanko, and Dr. D'Ambrosio. These professors are great people and amazing educators.
After leaving Miami, I completed an MS in Mathematics at Temple University in Philadelphia. As of this fall, I am an upper school teacher of mathematics, statistics, and computer science at the Key School in Annapolis, Maryland.
My memories are almost exclusively late nights staring at blackboards in Bachelor or at my laptop typing up homework after I finally have (what I thought to have been) solutions haha! Experience since at Missouri is pretty much identical as well lol…
