Bio

Lisa Hervey, Ph.D., NBCT | I am a lecturer in the Digital Learning and Teaching Master’s Program. During my 24–year tenure, starting with 10 years as a public school 6th – 8th Language Arts teacher, and most recently 10 years as a Senior Research Scholar at the Friday Institute for Educational Innovation at NCSU. I am a National Board Certified Teacher and earned an M.Ed. in K-12 Reading and Ph.D. in Curriculum & Instruction from NC State. I lead revolutionary district-wide culture shifts via blended models of professional learning and strategic planning to support local technology and literacy initiatives. I recently collaborated on several Massive Open Online Courses for Educators, Coaching Digital Learning, and Learning Differences. My most recent publication, in Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge – Exploring, Developing, and Assessing TPACK stems from my research on veteran teachers’ complex change process when developing pervasive, robust digital learning and teaching capacities. I have a strong vision and passion for what it takes to meet educators, at all levels, “where they are,” to develop strategic plans and professional learning that addresses their immediate needs to further student achievement.

Area(s) of Expertise

My action research is centered on how this nation’s educators deserve leaders who believe technology is not the driving force of digital initiatives, rather it’s a deep understanding of the intersection of curricular standards and sound pedagogy. National policy is needed to better support educators' capacity to: 1) apply student-centered pedagogy using global inquiry-based approaches; 2) differentiate content for learning profiles in their classroom, and 3) align teacher praxis and leadership practices with ISTE Digital Learning Competencies.
