Xiaoxia Newton uses a variety of methodological approaches to address research and evaluation issues related to urban school reform, K-12 mathematics education and transition to university level STEM education, and teacher learning and professional development (pre-service and in-service), particularly from a cross-cultural perspective. She is the faculty advisor of the research on the Cal Teach Program at Berkeley. Cal Teach is a UC system wide effort to recruit, prepare, and support undergraduate STEM majors for teaching in urban schools.
