Research Overview

My research interests include the examination of education policies (e.g., school choice, accountability, school reform). I pay particular attention to the implications for equity and educational opportunity.

I am not currently working on an InCHIP project. I am interested in working on a research consortium that looks at a wide range of data that affect schools and students. I’m interested in studying community schools with wrap-around services.
