Dr. Abha Singh has her MS and Ph.D. degrees in Science Education and
Environment Science with a minor in Gifted Education from the University
of Iowa, Iowa City. Her areas of specialization are in Elementary and
Middle School Science Education. Her dissertation title is "Professional
Development and Perspectives of Science Teachers: An Extracurricular
Science Program for Gifted Middle School Students". She has presented at
state, national and international conferences. Her latest research was a
collaborative effort documenting weekly reflective journaling by
in-service teachers as a means of initiating practice of "consistent
reflection of teaching". Other presentations were Curriculum Innovation
through the Practicum Experience and Professional Development: A Recipe
for Excellence, which focused on encouraging teachers to use
differentiation in teaching science to highly able science students at
the Iowa Talented and Gifted Conference. Her desire is to encourage
undergraduate science teachers to intergrate science content with other
subject areas.
