Teresa Lara-Meloy is passionate about finding better ways of teaching middle school math and improving ways to support math teachers and coaches. She designs technology-integrated curricular and professional development materials. Her interests include how students engage in the CCSS Mathematical Practices, how coaches support teacher professional development, and the multiple ways in which Emergent Multilinguals (EM, particularly Spanish-speaking ones) participate in mathematical discourse using dynamic representational technologies (DRT). Her current projects include Bridging PD IV and MPACT 3D.
