William ZahnerBill Zahner is an associate professor in the mathematics department at San Diego State University and the Director of the Center for Research in Mathematics and Science Education. Zahner's research is focused on improving mathematics learning for all students, especially multilingual students who are classified as "English Learners" and students from historically marginalized communities that are underrepresented in STEM fields.Zahner has been PI or Co-PI on multiple projects. Zahner's currently active funded projects include:
