Author info...

[Jason Belnap]

Hey all,
In one of the classes I teach, we frame the development of math education & theories of learning by reading key research pieces through the decades. I’ve been trying to find some basic info on authors, like even a photo so they can imagine the person that wrote the piece they are reading. I’m finding that in some cases, it is extremely difficult to find any information on the individuals online or to tell where they are/were working. Any ideas on how to find such information?

For example, one that we are studying is the Conceptual & Procedural piece by James Hiebert & Patricia Lefevre. With some work I was able to track down a picture of James & some information on his career, because he’s emeritus at U.Delaware, but for the life of me, I can’t track down anything on Patricia. Having never known her personally, I have no idea how to tell who she is from a google searches and can’t tell anything about what her career involved. Any insights into her or how I might find such info on other authors as well?

Thanks,
Jason Belnap
