Faculty & Staff
The Center Director is Gerald Tindal of the University of Oregon. He is joined by his three co- principal investigators: Ann Schulte, Stephen Elliott, and Joseph Stevens.
The Center’s personnel is organized into four functional teams: (a) Center Leadership Team, (b) Data Management Team, (c) Data Analysis & Reporting Team, and (d) Instructional Practices Team. The Leadership Team is comprised of the Director, the Co-PIs, and the leaders of three task-specific teams. The Center’s Leadership Team will benefit from the intellectual guidance and sage wisdom of a National Advisory Panel comprised of leading measurement scientists, special populations researchers, and an accountability and policy analyst.
