  Senior Research Associate

  -Research Associate on the e-Learning for Educators Initiative

  a federally funded Ready to Teach grant\n-took a lead role in evaluating the effect of online professional development on teacher and student knowledge and practices through a large-scale randomized controlled trial across multiple states\n\n-promoted in 2008 to Senior Research Associate when I received funding as Co-PI for the Diagnostic Geometry Assessment (DGA) Project from the Institute of Education Sciences Cognition and Student Learning Program (R305A080231

  ~$1.7M)\n-led the development

  validation

  and evaluation of an online

  formative

  cognitively diagnostic assessment system targeting middle grades geometric misconceptions\n-a randomized trial found that access to the DGA resources was associated with a reduction in the prevalence of misconceptions and an improvement in student knowledge
