Anna Dailey
Doctoral Student
Anna Dailey is a doctoral student at BU Wheelock. Anna’s research interests focus on how teachers make sense of and use curriculum materials designed to support ambitious mathematics teaching.
Before starting her PhD, Anna was a high school math teacher for 9 years in Nashville, TN. During her time in the classroom, she engaged in practitioner inquiry through CPM Educational Programs Teacher Research Community. She also supported pre-service secondary mathematics teachers as a mentor teacher and an adjunct instructor at Vanderbilt University.
