Dr. Marshall's research centers on preserving social studies instruction within elementary curricula overwhelmed by standardized testing mandates, while simultaneously investigating how school-university partnerships transform teacher candidate development. Her work with Hamburg Central School District employs action research methodologies where teachers and university faculty co-develop innovative classroom practices that improve student learning without sacrificing social studies content.

Her teaching philosophy emphasizes creating reflective educators through active, meaningful, and value-based learning experiences that integrate challenging academic content across disciplines.
