Dr. Catherine Lammert is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Teacher Education. Since 2021, she has served as anchor faculty in undergraduate literacy teacher education in the College of Education. Broadly, her research focuses on the uses of field-based experiences, practice-based research, and interdisciplinary approaches to cultivate literacy preservice teacher adaptiveness. In 2020, she was honored to receive the Dissertation Award for Literacy Excellence from the Research in Reading & Literacy Special Interest Group of the American Educational Research Association for her study titled: Inquiry, Advocacy, and Practice-Based Research: Transformative Possibilities in Literacy Preservice Teacher Education. Her current research focuses on the ways discourse analysis and topic modeling can support the development of new instrumentation to measure teacher adaptiveness, particularly in relation to preservice literacy teachers' selection of texts for teaching reading.
