National Content Alignment Study for Grade 8 Reading
I worked with fifteen other reading educators chosen from a national pool to conduct content
alignment based on Grade 8 Reading assessments. We reviewed and analyzed subject content as

student achievement and college and career readiness by the end of grade 12.

I worked in collaboration with Dr. Monica Griffin to develop and implement a qualitative research
project focusing on Design Thinking in the Higher Education environment.
