Biography
Elizabeth (Beth) van Es received her Ph.D. in Learning Sciences from Northwestern University in 2004.
Dr. van Es' research interests include teacher thinking and learning and the design of professional development. Specifically, she investigates teachers’ "professional vision" – what stands out to teachers in their practice and how they interpret these events. In addition, she explores how teachers learn to examine classroom interactions in new ways through viewing and discussing video records of practice.
Recent publications by Dr. van Es have appeared in the Journal of Computing in Teacher Education, Journal of Technology and Teacher Education, and Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School. Beth is formerly a high school English and Communication teacher.
