I work for the CMIE as its Research Manager/Associate: I manage research agendas for projects such as those contracted by the S.F. Symphony (Keeping Score schools project), Chicago Arts Partnerships in Education (Partnerships in Arts Integration Research project), and the Music Integrated Literacy Enhancement project in Oakland, CA. I help to develop protocols for data collection, design student assessments, supervise data analyses, create data displays, and contribute to the report writing necessary for each contract.
