Frances E. Anderson

After seven years teaching mathematics at a downtown urban high school, I moved to the University of Nebraska-Omaha. Here, I serve as a faculty member on a faculty development fellowship where I work in tandem with my colleagues on research while completing my dissertation for my doctoral degree (expected graduation May 2023). As a researcher, I specialize in social capital, alongside social justice and how it manifests itself in mathematics education. Other areas of research include, attrition of teachers, retention of teachers, improvement of instruction in pK-16 environments, identification of between-individual differences via structural education modeling, alongside identifying factors that impact mathematics achievement in a array of different social contexts.
