Ji Yeong I, an assistant professor in the School of Education, has received the Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER) Award from the National Science Foundation, securing $835,030 for the 5-year research project, “Implementing Mathematical Modeling for Emergent Bilinguals (IM2EB).” The project is designed to support prealgebra and algebra teachers of emergent bilinguals using mathematical modeling as the framework. I will work with Des Moines Public Schools on this project from September 2020 to August 2025.
