Areas of Research

Gifted & Talented and Advanced Education
Broadly, I seek to answer: 1. Who are these students? 2. How can we best identify them? 3. How can we help them flourish?
Open Science Research Methods
In open science, I explore how to improve research transparency and rigor so that society can better understand the generalizability, reproducibility, and replicability of research findings. The influence of education research is too great to be driven by narrow irreplicable results. I have conducted direct and conceptual replications, both in collaboration with the original authors and independently
