I am faculty at UCLA’s School of Education & Information Studies. I serve as faculty co-director (with Prof. Tyrone Howard) of UCLA’s Center for the Transformation of Schools. I previously taught at Claremont Graduate University, CIDE in Mexico City, and was Education Economist at the RAND Corporation.
I study how to improve teaching and learning for children in low-income settings as well as English-learner classified students. Most of my work studies schools, teachers and students in the United States or Latin America (mainly Mexico).
