Research Interests

My research centers on literacy instruction and learning in schools that serve primarily low-income and minoritized students. One strand of my research focuses on teacher learning in online professional development (Online Content-Focused Coaching). A second strand of my research focuses on developing an automated writing evaluation system (eRevise) to increase the quality of students' argument writing and revision skills.
