Faculty Member since 2007

Dr. Monet received her Ed.D in Science Education from Rutgers University, M.S. degree in Geosciences from San Francisco State University, and her B.S. degree in Geology from Sonoma State University. While at Rutgers her research focused on teacher learning; specifically the development of teachers' topic-specific pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) for teaching science. Prior to her appointment at Chico she was a postdoctoral associate for the New Jersey Statewide Systemic Initiative at Rutgers University where her teaching and research focused on the design and implementation of inquiry-based professional development programs aimed at better preparing middle school science teachers to teach earth science. As a fourth generation San Franciscan, she credits her passion for earth science to the incredibly diverse geologic landscape of California.
