Beatriz D'Ambrosio, mathematics education, is the recipient of the IU School of Education's Burton W. Gorman Teaching Award. She has developed a new program that pairs beginning education students with Indianapolis sixth graders to work on math problems. The program, in its second semester, matches one education student from her "Math for Elementary Teachers" class with several sixth graders at Fall Creek Valley Middle School. The groups meet in person at the beginning of the semester and then continue their communication through E-mail. By pairing education students with only a few children at a time, the program allows future teachers to get their first taste of a real-life teaching situation without having to take on an entire class.

Originally from Brazil, she is the first person from that country to earn a doctorate in math education. Her research interests run the gamut from the teaching and learning of mathematics to systemic change and multicultural dimensions of mathematics education. Other projects in which she participates include the Indiana Mathematics Initiative, a National Science Foundation-funded undertaking that provides professional development for mathematics teachers at the middle grades and high schools in 10 districts throughout the state. Additionally, she serves as lead evaluator for another National Science Foundation project, "Making Mathematics Reform a Reality."
