Camille Osei

Background

Camille Osei is on the faculty of the Department of Teacher Education and holds a Ph.D. from North Carolina State University. Before Porter, Camille taught in a technical high-school program.

Camille's research focuses on mathematics education, with related work in early childhood education; undergraduates are involved in the lab most terms.

Areas of expertise

• Mathematics education
• Early childhood education
• Undergraduate research and project mentoring

Teaching

Camille regularly teaches courses in Education, Early Childhood Education, Career & Technical Education. Specific sections and syllabi are listed in the class schedule each term.

Courses lean on current problems from the field: students read recent work, reproduce a result or method, and then extend it. Camille builds in low-stakes practice before graded work and gives written feedback on drafts.

Advising and office hours

Camille advises students in the Teacher Education programs and holds weekly office hours during the fall and spring terms, posted on the office door and in the course pages. Prospective students are welcome to email to arrange a visit or a call.

Advising conversations usually cover course sequencing, whether to add a minor or a concentration, and how classroom work connects to internships, research, or graduate study. Students who are undecided are welcome; part of the job is helping them narrow things down.

Recent and representative work

Camille's recent activity is a mix of peer-reviewed work, conference talks, and student-involved projects in mathematics education and early childhood education. Representative items:

• A peer-reviewed article on mathematics education in a disciplinary journal.
• A conference paper on early childhood education, co-authored with an undergraduate researcher.
• An internally funded project applying mathematics education to a regional partner's problem.

Titles and venues here are illustrative. UW–Porter Falls is fictional; Camille has no real publication record.

Get in touch

The fastest way to reach Camille is email (cosei@uwporterfalls.edu); messages during the fall and spring terms are usually answered within two business days. Prospective students and families can ask the Teacher Education department office to set up a call, a class visit, or a meeting during an admitted-student day.
