Don
has nearly 20 years experience in a broad range of issues related
to curriculum reform for students with disabilities, education policy,
educational evaluation, research, and analysis. He has managed studies
of school reform and implementation of math curriculum, and has
investigated reforms in nearly 40 schools, conducting hundreds of
interviews and school/classroom observations. In addition to EMSTAC,
his current work focuses on math reform and issues related to students
with disabilities.
Don currently directs AIR's Singapore Mathematics Study for
the Planning and Evaluation Service (ED). He also directs the qualitative
case studies and analysis for AIR's Moving Math Standards to
the Classroom Study. Drawing on his diverse background in special
education research and policy, Don has a special interest in connecting
research to practice. Over the past year, he helped OSEP plan and
conduct a series of work group stakeholder meetings that discussed
possible policy initiatives to review and evaluate research-based
instructional practices and then support the scaling-up of practices,
identified as valid, in states and localities across the country.
Prior to joining AIR and EMSTAC, Don served as Director of Research
for the National Association of State Boards of Education (NASBE).
While at NASBE he served as Co-Director of an OSEP field initiated
study examining the implementation of Success for All for
students with Disabilities. He also served as a senior researcher
on a national study assessing the implementation of curriculum standards
for students with disabilities. Before working at NASBE Don served
as a researcher with the Education Policy Center at Vanderbilt University
focusing on implementation of standards-based instruction in Kentucky.
He has published numerous government reports and made several presentations
of his research at multiple conferences.
Don is completing the Ph.D. in Policy Development and Program Evaluation
at Vanderbilt University.
