Hilda Borko (PhD, UCLA, 1978) is a professor of education and chair of educational psychology at the School of Education, University of Colorado at Boulder. Dr. Borko’s research focuses primarily on teacher cognition and the process of learning to teach, with an emphasis on teachers’ learning of reform-based practices. Her recent CRESST project, The Effects of Standards-Based Assessment on Schools and Classrooms (with Brian Stecher and Shelby Wolf), examined the impact of state-mandated, standards-based assessment reform on schools and classrooms. Her current CRESST project (with Brian Stecher) is developing measures of classroom practices that will be used to further investigate the impact of accountability policies on curriculum and instruction. She is co-principal investigator on two additional research projects, Learning to Teach Secondary Mathematics in Two Reform-Based Teacher Education Programs (LTSM; supported, in part, by NSF) and Supporting the Transition from Arithmetic to Algebraic Reasoning (STAAR; supported, in part, through an IERI grant).
Dr. Borko is a member of numerous professional organizations in education and psychology and has served as a member and chair of various committees for the American Educational Research Association and the Educational Psychology Division of the American Psychological Association. She is currently president-elect of the American Educational Research Association.
