Julien Corven is a first year Ph.D. student in the Mathematics Education specialization at the University of Delaware. Prior to enrolling at UD, he taught mathematics for ten years at the middle and high school levels in Baltimore City, Maryland. He earned his Master’s degree in Mathematics Education from Towson University in Maryland in 2014 and served as an adjunct professor in the Math department there for three years. His current research interests include examining the ways that secondary mathematics teachers interact with written curriculum materials during lesson planning and understanding how awareness of the TPACK framework affects pre-service teacher dispositions.
