My Expertise

I use mixed methods in my research on the intersections of curriculum, assessment, equity, evaluation of educational programs, and teacher education and development. I work with educational systems and schools nationally and internationally to lead their assessment reforms focused on articulating policies, developing assessment resources, implementing professional development, and changing teachers' beliefs and practices. I provide support for individual schools to build a school-based assessment culture. Also, I engage with schools by co-designing and evaluating long-term educational programs and providing short-term training and input.
