Before joining the faculty at BU, she was a researcher at the University of Michigan for over a decade. Her program of research focuses on the design and study of practice-intensive approaches to the professional training of teachers as well as approaches to assessing developing skills with teaching practice. She and colleagues have received over 7 million in funding from the National Science Foundation to support this work. The NSF-funded <a href=\"http:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/at-practice\/\">Assessing Teaching Practice (@Practice) Project<\/a> focused on the design, use, and study of teaching simulations to assess preservice teachers\u2019 skills with eliciting and interpreting student\u2019s mathematical thinking as well as their mathematical knowledge for teaching. She is the PI of the NSF-funded Developing Equitable Discussion Practices Project. Her research is deeply rooted in her work as a teacher educator. Meghan has collaborated nationally and internationally with university-based teacher preparation programs seeking to become practice-based teacher education programs. Currently, Meghan serves as the Associate Vice President for Research for the Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators and as a Board Member for the Michigan Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators. In past work, she has studied the development of children\u2019s mathematical thinking. She co-wrote the book Beyond Pizzas and Pies: 10 Essential Strategies for Supporting Fraction Sense, published by Math Solutions in 2010. She received a PhD in mathematics education from the University of California, Berkeley and a BA in mathematics and psychology from Wellesley College.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-30af1d1 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"30af1d1\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ef07f80\" data-id=\"ef07f80\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0976aba elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0976aba\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-108\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/equitable-discussions-project\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2020\/12\/Nicole_Garcia_001-FINAL-e1607013495407-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><a name=\"nicoleg\"><\/a>Nicole Garcia<\/strong>\u00a0focuses on the design, implementation, and study of practice-based approaches to the professional training of K-12 teachers.
