Biography
Dr. Janelle M. Bailey's research interests include both in-service and pre-service science teacher education as well as astronomy education, and spans a range of K-16. Most recently, she is co-principal investigator with Doug Lombardi of a $2.3M grant from the National Science Foundation on helping high school students better evaluate the connections between evidence and explanations in earth science. Bailey is the past president of the American Association of Physics Teachers, a member of the editorial board for the Journal of College Science Teaching, and a guest editor for a focused collection on astronomy education research for Physical Review Physics Education Research. Bailey teaches classes in secondary science education and has taught elementary science methods as well as introductory astronomy in the past.
