Cathy Mariotti Ezrailson, Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor of Science Education at The University of South Dakota in Vermillion, SD. She has been an American Association of Physics Teachers’ Physics Teaching Resource Agent since 1992. She has taught middle school science, AP physics, scientific research and design, computer technologies, geology and chemistry in public schools and community colleges for more than 20 years. She currently teaches physical science and science methods for elementary, middle school, and high school science education majors, as well as graduate courses in science education. Her current research areas include “Are We Teaching Science Safely in South Dakota Schools?”, “Interactive Science for the English Language Learner: Two ELL Populations Compared,” and “Science and Technology is Also Me”–A Middle School Girls’ Physical Science and Technology Summer Experience. She has designed and implemented the Explicitly Modeled Interactive Techniques (EMIT) best practices in science teaching model for classroom grades 6-20 and is currently managing editor of The Physics Front.org–a digital library collection for K-20 physics and physical science teachers, students, and teacher educators.
