Fulbright Year in Finland
Here, you will find my personal reflections as I spend August 2017 through May 2018 as a Fulbright Scholar in Helsinki, Finland. I am conducting qualitative research on the quality of STEM teacher training programs with the LUMA Centre Finland/University of Helsinki, mapping their regional impacts using ArcGIS, and also working on a research project evaluating the potential for online learning platforms to support community-centered learning. You can find my reflections on the Finnish education, and updates on my formal research projects, in my posts below:
