Kathleen M. Clark is an Associate Professor in the School of Teacher Education at Florida State University. Her research focuses on the ways in which prospective and in-service mathematics teachers use history of mathematics in teaching, the ways in which the study of history of mathematics informs teachers' mathematical knowledge for teaching, and the impact of primary historical sources in undergraduate mathematics education. Dr. Clark earned her Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction, with a specialization in Mathematics Education, from the University of Maryland, College Park in 2006. Prior to her doctoral work, she taught high school mathematics in a variety of contexts (1987-2001) and spent one year on Capitol Hill as an Albert Einstein Distinguished Educator Fellow (2001-2002).
