Ariane is a doctor candidate in Curriculum Studies at the University of British Columbia (Canada). Her research interests include math classroom practice to improve opportunities to learn for students with different backgrounds. During my Ph.D. program, she is particularly interested in understanding how teachers participating in a Learning Study design lessons to develop numeracy skills in their students as well as how Variation Theory can support teachers in improving what they notice in their classroom. She hopes her research can better connect both micro (classroom/schools) and macro (policymakers) actors to design and implement more equitable curriculum policies.

 

Before her journey in Canada, she analyzed math classroom teaching practices to improve student learning opportunities in Latin America and worked with universities and policymakers to design better curricula and more equitable policies. She is also a former philosophy public high school teacher and math educator in an NGO in Brazil. She holds a master's in International Education Policy Analysis from Stanford University (USA) and another in Education from the University of Sao Paulo (Brazil). She also has a bachelor’s and Teacher Credential in Philosophy from the University of Sao Paulo (Brazil).
