Dr. Strayer's research interests include understanding ways of supporting university instructors' implementations of research-supported mathematics teaching practices, developing pre-service, in-service teachers', and graduate teaching assistants' (GTAs') mathematical/statistical knowledge for teaching. He has also investigated ways the classroom flip can be used to enact research-supported mathematics teaching practices.

See the MODULE(S2) project website for more information about the work I have done regarding developing undergraduate students' mathematical knowledge for teaching in upper level university mathematics courses.
