Meta-Research
Research holds potential to define and uncover issues in schools and provide targeted solutions for long-standing problems. However, two issues threaten the credibility and impact of research: questionable research practices and a lack of comprehensive understanding of what works across various contexts. Having worked on several projects related to research synthesis and open science practices, I am committed to summarizing bodies of knowledge with a focus on policy implications, as well as conducting transparent and replicable research.
