About Mary Annette Rose
Annette has served Ball State University for over 18 years supporting the professional development of pre-service and in-service teachers by delivering graduate courses within the MA in Technology Education and MA in Career and Technical Education programs, as well as undergraduate courses in the Teaching Major in Technology and Engineering Education. She serves as advisor to the Minor in Sustainability and has mentored five immersive learning projects that resulted in the development of:
2014 Sustainability Report for Ball State University (PDF)
2015 Sustainability Report for Ball State University (PDF)
International Airport and Solar Farm website (PDF)
In addition to sustainability education, a prevailing theme in Annette’s teaching, service, and scholarly work has been integrative STEM—the application of design-based, inquiry-based, collaborative approaches that intentionally foster interdisciplinary understandings common to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. She has developed, implemented, and assessed integrative learning activities with mathematics and science educators (Rose, 2007; Rose, Ribblett, & Hershberger, 2010), as well as implemented and assessed an online professional development project for practicing teachers that integrated science, technology, and social studies content (Rose, 2012 & 2011). Among her research endeavors are studies on mathematics integration (Flowers & Rose, 2014) and integration of engineering and technology experiences for elementary educators (Rose, Carter, Brown, & Shumway, 2017). She has contributed to interdisciplinary professional development workshops and conferences, including the National Science Teachers Association (2012), American Society for Engineering Education (2008), National Energy Education Summit (2015), and International Technology and Engineering Educators Association (2002 – 2017).
Locally, Annette supports energy and sustainability education through her service on the board of Living Lightly Fair and Robert Cooper Audubon Society.
