I am Nathan Hawk. I have grown up and lived in the Midwest for my entire life. I am an educational researcher focusing on the interrelated roles of social emotional learning, online K-12 schools, and mathematics achievement. In Fall 2021, I began serving my journey as a higher education faculty member at Texas A&M University in College Station, TX.
The purpose of this website is to present an overview of my professional identity as both an educator and researcher, including my teaching, research, and service experience. |

My background
My educational background is based on experience and knowledge in educational technology integration with a primary focus on mathematics education. I attended Carthage College (Kenosha, WI) where I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in mathematics, while focusing on secondary education. Since then, I have earned a Master of Arts from The George Washington University (Washington DC) in educational technology leadership. Finally, I am finishing my PhD degree studies at The Ohio State University (Columbus, OH) during the 2020-2021 academic year. During that span, I have spent 15 years as a high school mathematics teacher across urban and rural schools, serving primarily students in drop out prevention and credit recovery schools.
I am currently a Clinical Assistant Professor at Texas A&M University in the Department of Teaching, Learning and Culture. My first semester of instruction was Fall 2021. My primary scholarship revolves around a few key areas, including teacher education with use of technology, particularly development of beliefs, and the impact of various student and family focused factors on K-12 online learning engagement and success.
