Dr Judy Anderson is an Associate Professor in Mathematics Education at the Sydney School of Education and Social Work, the University of Sydney, Australia with research interests in mathematics education, motivation and engagement, and STEM professional learning. At the University of Sydney, she has held the position of Director of the STEM Teacher Enrichment Academy for the past six years. This professional development program for primary and secondary school teachers has reached nearly 1250 teachers in more than 220 schools and is supported by a team of 12 academic staff, a postdoctoral research fellow and a project manager. Judy has published widely with more 70 publications since 2009 in international, and national journals and conference proceedings. She is currently the Associate Editor of Curriculum Perspectives, an international Springer journal, and is a member of the editorial board of the Springer publication Mathematics Teacher Education and Development. She is currently the Secretary of the International Group of the Psychology of Mathematics Education (IGPME).

Dr. Yeping Li is a Full Professor at the Department of Teaching, Learning, and Culture at Texas A&M University, USA. His research interests include mathematics education, STEM education, and teacher education. He is the founding editor-in-chief of the International Journal of STEM Education and Journal for STEM Education Research, both published by Springer, and is also the editor of several monograph series including, Advances in STEM Education also published by Springer. In addition to publishing over 15 books and special journal issues in recent years, he has published more than 100 articles in topic areas that he is interested in. He has also organized and chaired many group sessions at various national and international professional conferences, such as International Congress on Mathematical Education -10 (ICME-10) (2004), ICME-11 (2008), ICME-12 (2012), and American

"Integrated Approaches to STEM Education: An International Perspective is a compendium of chapters ... . the editors and chapter authors paint an exciting and detailed picture of both what is possible and what is challenging about an Integrated Approaches to STEM Education."
