Dr. Thompson teaches Characteristics of Knowledge Acquisition in the Foundations Department. She earned the Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education (Foundations and Practices of Education, 2006), the M.Ed. from Duke University, and the B.A. with teacher certification in English (Wake Forest University). Prior to coming to Rowan, she taught in a variety of educational settings, including middle and upper schools, urban community centers, community college ESL and ABE programs, and other universities. Her current research focuses on urban youth organizations that combine emerging technologies, requirements for problem solving and metacognition, and apprenticeship into powerful frameworks for youth participation and development. She and the youth from Hopeworks in Camden have presented papers at numerous academic conferences. Her most recent publications include a book chapter in Digital Generations: Children, young people, and the new media (Erlbaum, 2006), and an article in Teachers College Record (2006).
