Biography
Taffeta Wood is a fifth-year doctoral student and Ph.D. candidate in the School of Education's Language, Literacy, and Technology (LLT) specialization. She studies child X instruction effects in pre-K through 3rd grade classrooms. Examining personalized instruction in literacy and math, she takes Daniel Kahneman’s “Outside View” to develop classroom math interventions based on opportunities for math learning and cognition inspired by language and literacy research.
Taffeta’s research interests include how best to support elementary school students' math development. Additionally, she is interested in teacher professional development and how best to support teachers and their students with technology.
Her goal is to further research in the area of individual differences in mathematics learners and their developmental trajectories in order to promote more equitable and effective interventions particularly for children with language differences and/or those with learning and developmental disabilities.
