Arren Duggan

Arren Duggan serves as Assistant Professor in the Department of Educational Studies at Monmouth College since July 2023, leveraging over 22 years of diverse educational experience including K-5 classroom teaching, graduate research assistance, university instruction, and teacher supervision for practicum/student teaching placements. His work centers on equitable education that integrates students' cultural and community backgrounds.

His academic credentials include:

• Ph.D. in Educational Studies (Mathematics Education concentration), University of North Carolina at Greensboro, 2021
• Master of Education in Elementary Mathematics Education, University of North Carolina at Greensboro, 2016
• Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education, University of North Carolina at Greensboro, 2001

Duggan's research prioritizes developing research-practice partnerships with educators and communities to enhance K-12 learning, with specialized focus on rural education contexts and children's mathematical cognition. He champions place-based pedagogies that connect curriculum to local environments and student identities, emphasizing practical applications over theoretical abstractions.

His publication trajectory reveals consistent engagement with integrated STEM instruction—particularly the 2024 nature journaling framework for science/math fusion and 2018 analysis of collaborative curriculum design—demonstrating methodological rigor in rural and elementary settings while advancing equity-centered teacher development.

As educator and supervisor, Duggan mentors prospective teachers through practicum/student teaching experiences while teaching foundational courses including EDST 110, MATH 210/211, and MCTE 315/316/372/410-411. His research-practice partnerships imply active grant involvement despite no explicitly listed funding sources.
