My research is primarily focused on the development and deployment of human capital in the context of public schools. However, I am broadly interested in how individuals and institutions build and use productive skills. I believe a 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, career and technical education, college access, state intervention in public schools, school finance, and teacher labor markets.
