My research interests are broadly focused on the development and deployment of human capital in the context of American public education, but I am also more generally interested in how individuals and institutions build and use productive skills. I believe our nation's greatest resource is its people and that public education is the foundation of developing that resource. My current research projects are related to adult basic education, immigrant language skills, high school equivalency credentialing, college access, and teacher labor markets.
