Dr. Sean Chorney
Editorial Advisory Board Member 2019-2020
Assistant Professor, Faculty of Education
Acting Director, Undergraduate Programs, Faculty of Education

I’m interested in the integration of digital technology into mathematics teaching. I am currently looking at teachers’ development and use of digital tasks using Desmos, an online graphing calculator. I am also exploring how these tasks reorganize mathematical practice, particular how digital tasks may or may not support empirically-based mathematical thinking in students. I am also currently working with Nathalie Sinclair on an SSHRC Insight Development Grant to study early learning of multiplication using the iPad application TouchTimes. Finally, I am exploring the mathematization of social issues as a way of giving students a mathematics experience that is connected to the world they live in.

Dr. Celeste Snowbar
Editorial Advisory Board Member 2019-2020
Professor, Faculty of Education

My research has been dedicated to bringing the body to ways of knowing and learning in relationship to researching, writing, creating and teaching. As a scholar who is also a dancer and poet, my research is located within the fields of curriculum theory and arts-based research. My career long contribution to these fields has been to develop embodied ways of inquiry as a way of knowing. I teach embodied forms of writing in my graduate classes on Embodiment and Curriculum Inquiry which are taught across three cohorts: arts education, health education and contemplative inquiry. 

 

 

 


Dr. Poh Tan
Editorial Advisory Board Member 2019-2020
Editor-in-Chief

Poh is pursuing a second doctorate degree in the Faculty of Education at Simon Fraser University. She is an entrepreneur, a stem cell biologist, an educator, a volunteer and a mother. She obtained her first PhD from the Faculty of Medicine at UBC focusing on the biology of blood stem cells. Her experience led her to a successful career in the biotechnology sector and eventually, helped her become a successful entrepreneur with two businesses. After becoming a mother, she found her true passion – science education in the early years. Yearning to learn more about how preschoolers learn, she decided to pursue a second PhD to understand early learners development to hopefully one day, see the world as her children see it every day – as a fascinating and new place to learn. Her research is focused on understanding early scientific literacy through self-study and reflective practices. Her specific research questions are: What are the characteristics of an educator to help develop reflective thinking in a young child? What elements are important in a learning environment to cultivate a reflective student? How can Schön’s coaching model be applied to develop a reflective student? In addition to her editorial role at Ed Review, Poh is part of the Community Scientist Initiative and Scientist in Schools Programs at the Telus World of Science, a graduate writing facilitator for the SFU library, an industry mentor for the Beedie School of Business and is active on the scientific panel at the Rare Genomics Institute. One of Poh’s career highlights included an invitation to be a TEDx Stanley Park presenter. Click here to view Poh’s TEDx talk.
