Biography:

Dr. E. Jean Gubbins is Professor in the Department of Educational Psychology at the University of Connecticut. Through grant funding from the United States Department of Education for The National Research Center on the Gifted and Talented (NRC/GT), Dr. Gubbins implemented research studies focusing on the curricular strategies and practices in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) high schools, reading and mathematics education in elementary schools, professional development, and gifted education pedagogy for all students. Currently, she is the Associate Director for our new grant funded center, National Center for Research on Gifted Education (NCRGE), focusing on exemplary practices in identification and programming for gifted and talented students from underrepresented groups. She is the Principal Investigator of Thinking Like Mathematicians: Challenging All Grade 3 Students and co-Principal Investigator of Project BUMP UP: Building Up Mathematics Proficiency Utilizing Push-in. Both research projects are funded under the Jacob K. Javits Gifted Education Program.

Dr. Gubbins’ expertise in program evaluation has allowed her to conduct over 45 program evaluations for school districts around the country and implement literacy and arts-integrated evaluations for non-profit organizations. Her research, evaluation, and teaching interests stem from prior experiences as a classroom teacher, teacher of gifted and talented students, evaluation consultant, and professional developer. She teaches graduate courses in gifted education and talent development related to identification, programming, curriculum development, and program evaluation. Articles, book chapters, edited books, and an e-Book highlight the range of topics within the field of gifted and talented education.
