Cassie Quigley

Dr. Cassie Quigley is an Professor of Science Education in the Department of Instruction of Learning at the School of Education at the University of Pittsburgh. She received her doctorate in Curriculum & Instruction at Indiana University in 2010. During her time as a high school biology and physics teacher, she often witnessed students did not connect with school science. Because of this experience, her research focuses on transforming science education to promote multiple knowledge types and ways of knowing. Currently, she works with in-service teachers on expanding their current pedagogical practices to include equitable and just approaches. She often frames this as STEAM Education where students work to solve real-world, relevant problems collaboratively
