Research areas

Two connected lines of inquiry.

My work examines both the systems schools build and the everyday experiences of the people within them.

01

School Social-Emotional and Behavioral Assessment and Service

Develop fair, psychometrically sound, and scalable systems for student social-emotional and behavioral success

  • How can we help teachers evaluate student behavior fairly and accurately, especially across diverse cultural backgrounds?
  • How can we assess students'social-emotional and behavioral functioning effectively and efficiently?
  • How can we build school systems that provide flexible, culturally responsive support for diverse student populations?
02

Intergroup Relationships and Belonging

Promote positive intergroup relationships and school belonging for all students.

  • What specific factors in a student's life and school environment help them build positive relationships across different cultural and social groups?
  • How do diverse children and youth navigate differences, handle conflicts, and build a sense of belonging in today's schools?
