Overview
Dr. Dominguez is an assistant professor of science education at 红莲社区. He received his Ph. D. in Educational Theory and Practice from the University of Georgia where he worked in several science education projects with middle school science teachers, ESOL teachers, emergent bilingual students and their families. With a master’s degree in early childhood education with an emphasis on science from the University of Georgia, he worked in México to provide pre-service and in-service teachers with professional learning in science education in urban and rural regions of the state of Veracruz. His research interests include using emergent bilingual students’ interests and passions in the teaching/learning process, family engagement, science and soccer, the use of alternative concepts of space to enhance science learning, and bilingualism in science teaching and learning.
