Heather Greenhalgh-Spencer, PhD, is an Associate Dean in the TTU Graduate School and an Associate Professor in Curriculum and Instruction. Her research emerges at the intersection ofEducational Technology, Pedagogical Innovation, Personalized Learning, Engagement, and Global uses of Technology in STEM. Greenhalgh-Spencer explores practices of using
technology and pedagogical innovation to create engaged learning in both formal and informal learning spaces, and in both national and global contexts. She explores issues in the STEM pipeline, and also researches embodied and transdisciplinary learning practices that increase
engagement for all populations in STEM courses. Greenhalgh-Spencer also researches blended /personalized learning (BL/PL) and the ways that BL/PL can create diverse pathways and increased opportunities for all students. This has, most recently, translated into an increased focus on teacher retention and student support in areas where teacher turnover is an issue.
