| Judi Fonzi brings
extensive experience as a mathematics teacher, teacher educator,
and researcher to the directorship of the Warner Center for
Professional Development and Education Reform. She also teaches
courses on professional development and mathematics education.
Fonzi’s research focuses on systemic reform, professional
development, and teacher leadership. She is the principal
investigator for a $2.4 million National Science Foundation
(NSF) funded project, Deepening
Everyone's Mathematics Content Knowledge, which aims to
increase the mathematics knowledge of mathematicians, teachers,
parents, and community members so that they can help K-12
students develop a deeper, more useful understanding of mathematics.
She recently co-authored an NSF-commissioned monograph, Professional
Development that Supports School Mathematics Reform (2002),
which was widely circulated by NSF to school systems across
the nation as a blueprint for successful school mathematics
reform through professional development.
Fonzi is also funded by a New York State Teacher Leadership
Quality Partnership grant for a K-12 systemic reform project
that engages schools within the Rochester City School District
to rethink their mathematics programs. She has been published
in several professional journals, including the Journal
for Research in Mathematics Education, Journal of Mathematics
Teacher Education, and Reading Research Quarterly.
