The worlds of education research and classroom practice are often seen as two different worlds. Rebecca Merkley is a researcher at Carleton University and Patrick McLeod is an educator in Eastern Ontario. Together, they explore the ways in which stronger relationships between the lab and the classroom can impact the way we do our work—as researchers and as educators.

Dr Annie Brookman-Byrne & Jack White-Foy began a collaboration while working at a Masters level course in Educational Neuroscience. In this episode, they discuss that collaboration and how, in their own ways, they work at the intersection of research and practice.
Patrick McLeod and Rebecca Merkley are joined by Simon Gregg, Teacher and STEAM coach at the International School of Toulouse, and Dr. Tali Leibovich from the Mathematics Education Department at Haifa University, Israel. They recently collaborated on a paper titled "Magnitudes Count in Math Education - An Interdisciplinary View" after being introduced on Twitter by someone who discovered their shared interests in math cognition and learning.
Host Patrick McLeod is joined by Julie Houle (Math Consultant, Lester B Pearson Board) and Dr. Helena Osana (Concordia University Research Chair in Mathematical Cognition and Instruction) to talk about their collaborative work on the Early Numeracy Partnership.
Their project was funded by a Partnership Engage Grant from a government research council with the goal of enhancing the mathematical success of kindergarten students in the Lester B Pearson Board.
Patrick McLeod and Rebecca Merkley are joined by Dr. Daniel Ansari and Jacqueline Mickle to talk about an exciting collaboration between Western University's (Numerical Cognition Lab and the Halton Catholic District School Board.
The project sought to better understand educator experiences implementing screeners to assess children’s early math skills and the team digs deep into the opportunities, challenges and what is being learned by the partnership.
Series hosts, Rebecca Merkley and Patrick McLeod, are joined by Halton Catholic District School Board educator, Jacqueline Mickle and Mathematics Cognition researcher, Daniel Ansari. In tonight's episode, the team continues to explore the right relationship between education researchers and educators, the ways in which education research can inform classroom practice, and how the research lab and the school might begin to work in different ways.
Rebecca Merkley is an Associate Professor at Carleton University and has a special interest in research related to cognition, learning and mathematics. Patrick McLeod is an educator and math support consultant in Eastern Ontario.
In this opening episode of On The Right Track, Rebecca and Patrick imagine the impact that could be made if a stronger and more intentional connection between the research lab and the classroom could be established and nurtured.
