Congratulations to NebraskaNOYCE doctoral graduate Patrick Janike and master's graduate Corie Lubash of Math in the Middle. They earned their degrees from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln on May 4, 2019.

Janike, who is a Master Teaching Fellow, earned his Ed.D. in Educational Studies. Dr. Janike is a math teacher at Lincoln High School, and has taught several courses for NebraskaMATH over the years. His adviser was Dr. Lorraine Males. For his dissertation, "Learning to Anticipate: A Teaching Experiment on a Cooperating Teacher's Work with a Pre-service Teacher," Janike studied how as a cooperating teacher he supported a student teacher in learning not just how to teach, but how to become a reflective practitioner.

Corie Lubash is a sixth-grade teacher at Lux Middle School and earned a Master of Education from UNL. She participated in Math in the Middle Cohort 4, which graduated with a Master of Arts for Teachers from the Department of Mathematics in 2009.

Way to go, Pat and Corie!
