 |
Dr. Carter earned her Master's and Ph.D. Degrees in Science Education from North Carolina State University. Prior to that time, she was a science teacher in the North Carolina Public School System. For the past three years, she has received funding to implement teacher development programs and research in the area of alternative assessment.
Dr. Carter is a member of several professional organizations including NARST, NSTA, NCSTA, AETS and Phi Delta Kappa. She also serves on an advisory committee for the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction for the implement of the new state science curriculum.
Dr. Carter's research targets two themes: alternative assessments as the vehicle for catalyzing instructional reform and the role of negotiated meaning in the development of concept formation.
