WALTER G. SECADA is Professor and Chair of the Department of Teaching and Learning at the University of Miami, FL. His scholarly interests include issues of equity in mathematics education, school restructuring, curriculum reform, and professional development of teachers. Currently, he is associate director of two major NSF-funded efforts at UM: (a) Promoting Science among English Language Learners (P-SELL) within a High Stakes Testing Environment which involves nearly 150 teachers in grades 3-5 in high-needs schools enrolling large numbers of Latino/a and Haitian students within the Miami-Dade County Public Schools and (b) Science Made Sensible, a professional development effort which pairs doctoral students in the sciences with science teachers in the feeder pattern to an MDCPS high school that enrolls large numbers of African American students. A fluent speaker of Spanish, he is also collaborating with an NGO in Lima Peru on studying achievement and school completion among that nation’s indigenous populations in the rural altiplano.
