RESEARCH INTERESTS:

Dr. Menke's research interests involve understanding and improving teacher preparation programs and the professional development of K-12 preservice and inservice mathematics teachers. Some of her work focuses on teacher preparation programs holistically, whereas other work narrows in on specific areas of teacher preparation or teaching practices—such as argumentation, coding, STEM integration, mathematical action technology, and feedback.
