Dr. Amy Bingham Brown graduated from the University of Florida with Bachelors and Masters degrees in elementary education; she received an Ed.D in Curriculum & Instruction with an emphasis in mathematics, science, and technology from Florida Atlantic University. Amy taught in elementary schools for five years, and has more recently been teaching pre-service teachers for six years. She enjoys teaching mathematics methods through hands-on manipulatives in the college classroom, and hopes to see the focus of hands-on math teaching transfer to the elementary classroom during field supervision of her students. Her research interests include pre-service and in-service teachers’ affective influences on mathematics teaching, mathematics curriculum integration, and applying technologies to teacher field supervision.
