Dr Jodie Miller is the Deputy Head of School in the School of Education at the University of Queensland. Her teaching and educational research explore best practice in mathematics and STEM education. As a primary school teacher working in culturally diverse school communities, Jodie wanted to understand how students develop conceptual understandings of mathematics and what teaching actions could foster success for all students. Being curious about teaching and learning led Jodie to establish a career in classroom research, where she works with teachers and students to enhance the conditions for mathematics learning. Through this work, Jodie has established a national reputation for her research exploring algebraic thinking, robotics and coding; mathematics learning within families, communities and early years settings; and culturally responsive approaches to supporting Indigenous students’ mathematics learning. A commitment to equity and social justice means Jodie’s research is primarily focused on supporting those most at risk of marginalisation from the school curriculum.
