Dawn M. Hathaway is an Associate Professor in the Learning Technologies in Schools program at George Mason University. Through a design research lens, she has cultivated a line of teaching and scholarship that emphasizes the role of design and learning technologies in the transformation of teacher education and P-12 teacher practice.  Her teaching practice focuses on developing teachers as designers of instructional practice that effectively uses technology to support future ready learners. She has designed and currently teaches courses that address designing for information using, literacy, problem-solving, community participation, teacher leadership and advocacy for digital learning, and blended and online learning quality.  She has designed programs and courses for face-to-face, blended, and online environments.  Her research focuses on developing alternative learning designs; applying design concepts from other fields to solve problems of practice in teacher education; examining the concept of teacher as designer; the use of technology to support information using, literacy, problem solving, and community participation; and investigating quality blended and online learning. She co-authored the book, Understanding Problems of Practice: A Case Study in Design Research.
