Karen Hammerness is a Research Fellow with the Bard Master of Arts in Teaching Program. Prior to joining the Bard MAT faculty, Karen Hammerness has been involved in a number of research projects in teacher education, exploring the relationship of pedagogy and novice teacher’s learning, and policy and practice. She is particularly interested in the ways that teachers’ images of ideal classroom practice—their visions—develop over the course of their careers, as well as how they intersect with their preparation for teaching and their commitments to the profession. From 1999-2003, she worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow with the Stanford University Teacher Education Program. From 2004-2009, she was a Senior Researcher on the “Does the Pathway Make a Difference?” Project. The Pathways project is a mixed-methods large-scale study of the features of teacher education programs in New York City, developed in order to examine the relationship between features of teacher preparation and student outcomes and as well as teacher retention within the specific labor market of New York City. In addition, with colleagues at Brandeis University, she has been studying teacher education programs that focus upon preparing teachers for particular contexts such as urban public schools, and exploring the advantages of such focused preparation for new teachers, and their students. She recently returned from a year in Oslo, Norway where she was a Fulbright Fellow, studying teacher education in Norway, the Netherlands as well as in Finland. 

Recent books include: Seeing through teachers’ eyes: Professional ideals and classroom practices (2006, Teachers College Press) and Preparing Teachers for a Changing World: What teachers should learn and be able to do, co-edited with L. Darling-Hammond, J. Bransford, P. LePage and H. Duffy (2005, Jossey-Bass). 

Ph.D., Arizona State University, Educational Psychology. Areas of interest include the intersection of culture and cognition, early education, immigration, literacy development, home-school collaborations in student learning, and mixed methods.

He is a member of the Comparative and International Education Society (CIES), American Educational Research Association (AERA), and former member of the American Psychological Association (APA) and National Latina/o Psychological Association (NLPA). Awards include the CIES New Scholars Award and the Fulbright-García Robles Fellowship.
