Project Description
Dr. Emily Adah Miller is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies Education at the University of Georgia. Her research interests are examining how elementary teachers can build on their own teaching repertoires to deepen culturally and linguistically responsive and social-justice-oriented pedagogies, and, through Project-based Learning contexts, how teachers use teacher-driven adaptations to strengthen opportunities for students to productively engage in science ideas, practices, and discourses. She is co-PI for Supporting Multilingual Learners (MLLs) in Scientific Sensemaking through an Interactional Approach to Language (MLL-SIL) and co-PI for Multiple Literacies in Project-based Learning (ML-PBL). Dr. Adah Miller collaborated with WIDA to design discourse tools aligned with the English Language Proficiency Development Framework and co-chaired the adoption of the new English Language Development standards in Wisconsin. She is a lead writer for the Diversity and Equity Team on the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and a member of the NGSS writing team. She earned her Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Wisconsin, Madison.
