Her academic leadership focuses on developing mathematics education frameworks through curriculum design and program administration.
Her educational foundation includes:
- B.A. in Mathematics from University of Delaware
- M.S. in Mathematics from Michigan State University
- Ph.D. in Curriculum, Teaching and Educational Policy (Mathematics Education) from Michigan State University
Dr. Johnson's research examines Financial Education through identity formation lenses and investigates Educational Practices in the Black Community. Her scholarship addresses systemic barriers in mathematics education, emphasizing culturally responsive pedagogy and equity-centered curriculum development for urban and historically marginalized student populations. This work bridges theoretical frameworks with practical classroom applications.
Her publication portfolio reveals consistent focus on educational equity in doctoral programming at Historically Black Institutions and intersectional analysis of racial/gender dynamics in STEM fields. This demonstrates evolving scholarship from foundational mathematics education toward critical examinations of power structures in academic systems.
As Mathematics Education Program Director, Dr. Johnson oversees curriculum implementation, faculty coordination, and student mentorship. Her administrative role involves strategic program development, accreditation compliance, and community engagement initiatives that connect academic training with real-world educational challenges in urban settings.
