Dr. Angela Broaddus

Dr. Angela Broaddus is originally from New York and received her bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from The College of William and Mary in Virginia (1986). She served the US Army as a commissioned officer for four years and then received her M.A.Ed. (1993) and secondary mathematics teaching license. She taught high school and college mathematics in several locations as her Army family moved in support of her husband’s military career. In 2011 she received her PhD in Curriculum and Instruction with dual emphases in Mathematics and Research, Evaluation, Measurement, and Statistics from the University of Kansas.

Dr. Broaddus joined the faculty at Benedictine College in 2016. Prior to her appointment she participated in research projects focused on building learning maps that model how people learn mathematics, and leveraging those maps to design innovative teacher professional development and instructional materials. She enjoys applying the principles used in this research to her teaching. When away from school, Dr. Broaddus enjoys singing with the Kansas City Symphony Chorus, knitting, and spending time with her family.
