Current Research and Scholarly InterestsToward a Scalable Model of Mathematics Professional Development: A Field Study of Preparing Facilitators to Implement the Problem-Solving Cycle
The Problem-Solving Cycle (PSC) model of mathematics professional development encourages teachers to become part of a collaborative and supportive learning community. As they participate in the PSC, teachers think deeply about both mathematics content and instruction, and they explore their instructional practices with their colleagues through the use of video and other classroom artifacts. One iteration of the PSC consists of three interconnected professional development workshops, all organized around a rich mathematical task. During Workshop 1, teachers collaboratively solve the mathematical task and develop plans for teaching it to their own students. Shortly after the workshop, the teachers implement the problem with their own students and their lessons are videotaped. In Workshop 2 teachers explore the role they played in implementing the problem. In Workshop 3 teachers critically examine students’ mathematical reasoning.
The Problem-Solving Cycle model provides a structure for mathematics teachers to work together and share a common mathematical and pedagogical experience. Our previous research suggests that it is a promising model for enhancing teachers’ knowledge and supporting changes in classroom practice.
In our current project, initiated in Fall 2007, we are working with a group of middle school mathematics teachers in a large urban district to foster their leadership capacity, and specifically to prepare them to facilitate the Problem-Solving Cycle. We will provide 2½ years of preparation and support for teachers who have been designated as “mathematics instructional leaders.” These instructional leaders will in turn implement the PSC with the mathematics teachers in their schools. We will document the range and quality of the instructional leaders’ implementation of the PSC. We will also analyze the impact of the professional development process on the mathematical knowledge and classroom teaching of the instructional leaders and the mathematics teachers with whom they work. In addition, we will analyze the impact on their students’ mathematics achievement. By the conclusion of the project, we anticipate that the participating schools will have the infrastructure and capacity to carry out the PSC indefinitely, using their own resources. In addition, the project will produce a highly refined set of PSC facilitation materials—with a strong emphasis on supporting a linguistically and culturally diverse student population—that can be widely disseminated. -
Karoline Marie Bornemann
Postdoctoral Scholar, Cardiology
BioKaroline-Marie Bornemann, PhD, is a biomedical engineer interested in cardiovascular flows, specifically the computational modeling of heart valves using fluid-structure interaction simulations. Her current postdoctoral research in the Marsden lab at Stanford University focuses on the simulation of congenital valve pathologies and valve repair in pediatrics working with Alexander D. Kaiser, Alison Marsden and Michael Ma. She obtained her PhD in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Bern where she investigated instability mechanisms leading to laminar-turbulent transition past bioprosthetic aortic valves with Dominik Obrist and Peter Schmid. During her PhD, she performed a secondment at KTH Royal Institute of Technology collaborating with Ardeshir Hanifi and Dan Henningson assessing the stability of flow fields past valve prostheses. Visualizations of her PhD research were showcased in a winning entry of the Gallery of Fluid Motion 2024 and her PhD thesis won the GCB Best PhD Thesis 2024 Award.

Dolan Bortner
Teaching Fellow - Corporate Governance and Practice LLM and Lecturer in Law
BioDolan Bortner is a Teaching Fellow and Lecturer in Law in the LLM Program in Corporate Governance and Practice. He studies corporate law and bankruptcy. His current work examines how the objectives of these fields affect and are affected by government intervention in private markets, congressional legislation, and appellate review. His scholarship has been published or is forthcoming in the Iowa Law Review, the Yale Journal on Regulation, the peer-reviewed American Bankruptcy Law Journal, and the Georgetown Journal of International Law.
Before joining the CGP Program, Dolan was a member of the Restructuring Practice at Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP and the General Practice at Sullivan & Cromwell LLP. He also served as a law clerk to the Honorable Jay S. Bybee of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
Dolan received his JD from Stanford Law School, where he was an articles editor on the Stanford Law Review. He received his AB with Honors in International Relations, magna cum laude, from Brown University. -
Amber Noelle Borucki
Clinical Associate Professor, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
BioDr. Amber Borucki is an anesthesiologist and pain medicine specialist whose focus is chronic pain management in children and adolescents/young adults. She focuses on reducing or managing pain from chronic conditions in children or pain that occurs after surgery. Dr. Borucki completed her medical degree at Rush Medical College in Chicago, IL. She attended anesthesia residency at the University of Chicago. She completed a fellowship in pediatric anesthesiology at Boston Children's Hospital as well as a combined adult/pediatric pain medicine fellowship at Boston Children's Hospital, Brigham Women's Hospital, and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. Dr. Borucki worked for 5 years as a pediatric anesthesiologist and pain medicine specialist at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital from 8/2017-5/2023. She was the Director of the Pediatric Anesthesia Service at UCSF during this time. Dr. Borucki transitioned to Stanford Medicine Children's Health in May 2023 and her clinical duties include working in the Emeryville satellite pediatric pain clinic, pediatric operating room, and pediatric pain inpatient service. Dr. Borucki is the Director for Pediatric Pain Education at Stanford, and has partnered with the Adult Pain Medicine program at Stanford to develop an exciting new pediatric pain fellowship track spanning Stanford Health Care and Stanford Medicine Children's Health. She will be the program director of of the pediatric component of this track.
Notable accomplishments include developing and co-chairing the UCSF Benioff Transbay Pediatric Pain Management Committee, development of the pediatric establishment of an adolescent/young adult transitional pain clinic, and serving on the Bridge to One Bay project to standardize pain care across all UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital locations. Dr. Borucki also was instrumental in helping UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital obtain ChildKind designation, a prestigious designation for a hospital indicating that it prioritizes pediatric pain care. She also has been instrumental in the development of the new Pediatric Pain Medicine Fellowship Track at Stanford.
Dr. Borucki has recently collaborated with Dr. Lauren Harrison of the Biobehavioral Pediatric Pain laboratory and together they were awarded a Pediatric Anesthesiology & Pain Medicine at Stanford School of Medicine Pilot Award to examine biopsychosocial demographic data around chronic pediatric back pain. Their study (PEDS-Back) is now enrolling patients through the pediatric pain medicine clinic.
Dr. Borucki has been a member of the medical advisory council for the Make a Wish Bay Area chapter for almost 10 years. She is currently serving as the Secretary/Treasurer for the Society for Pediatric Pain Medicine (SPPM) and also served as the program director for the 12th annual SPPM meeting. Dr. Borucki has also served on several committees through the American Society of Anesthesiologists, California Society of Anesthesiologists, and Women Innovators in Pain Medicine national society. Dr. Borucki served as an editorial board member for Paediatric and Neonatal Pain.
