Frustrated while trying to realize educational reforms as a public high school biology teacher, Erin transitioned into a career studying how science teachers learn and improve their daily classroom practice. Erin makes space to write daily amidst running several funded research projects and coordinating a research team; her writing has been published in research- and practitioner-oriented books, journals, book chapters, humorous essays, and advice columns. Outside of work, Erin prioritizes taking quality time with her husband and two young children, reads The New Yorker voraciously, and continues her quest to bake the perfect chocolate chip cookie.
