Work with thought leaders and academic experts in Mathematics Education

My work is primarily focused on how teachers learn about and understand the content they teach. My work has been primarily with upper elementary and middle school teachers in the areas of mathematics and computational thinking. I got into this field because of my interest in educational technology and in school reform. My work has focused on investigating how teachers understand the content they teach, how to design effective professional development to support them, and how to assess their learning. All of this is with an eye toward how students learn and how we can build better schools to support learning. I am also a certified running coach (UESCA) and personal trainer (NASM) with a particular interest in women's physiology as it relates to running -- particularly in the menopausal and perimenopausal phases. I am interested in working on projects that are focused on improving education - particularly math education, but also education more broadly. I am also interested in projects that relate to my interest in women running.

My name is Jeremy Bernier, and I am a math educator, education researcher, and gamer. I was born and raised in the state of Maine, a little bit all over but mostly in the [Lewiston / Auburn area](https://visitmaine.com/places-to-go/maines-lakes-and-mountains/lewiston-auburn). For my undergraduate studies, I went to [Boston University](https://www.bu.edu/wheelock/) and earned my BS in Mathematics Education in 2015. I spent a year after undergrad working at [Walt Disney World Resort](https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/) in Orlando, Florida, before teaching pre-algebra at [Maine Connections Academy](https://www.connectionsacademy.com/maine-virtual-school), Maine's first all-online charter school. I earned an MS in Teaching with a concentration in Mathematics from the [University of Maine](https://umaine.edu/risecenter/) in 2020, and subsequently earned a PhD in Learning, Literacies and Technologies from ASU in 2024. Presently, I am a Math Teacher at Bangor Adult and Community Education in Maine and an Adjunct Research Assistant Professor at Clemson University. <br> I am available for consulting and part-time work on a variety of types of projects. If you are interested in contracting me for work related to education research, mathematics teaching, or tabletop roleplaying games, please see the relevant pages linked below to learn more about my interest, experience, and knowledge in these areas.
