Nicholas Fiori
Instructor
Nick Fiori is a specialist in teacher learning and mathematics education. He is the instructor for The Teaching of Mathematics, and he helps mentor candidates in both Yale Teacher Preparation programs (graduate and undergraduate) with guided observations and planning sessions at their placement schools.
Dr. Fiori completed a Ph.D. in Mathematics Education from Stanford University in 2007 and a M.S. in Mathematics from The Courant Institute at New York University in 2001. His undergraduate degree from Brown University was in both Mathematics and Music, and he has always seen both domains as arts with similar parameters. His research follows this theme, focusing on the culture of mathematics classrooms and how schools promote (or thwart) students to engage and identify with the subject in a meaningful way. Before completing his graduate studies, Dr. Fiori taught mathematics for seven years at a middle school, a high school, and a community college in both New York City and the San Francisco Bay Area. Alongside his teaching and his research in mathematics education, he is an avid mathematician and is always working on a problem or two.
