Megan Zander
CTL Alumnus : Student Associate
Megan is currently a Master's student in the Policy Analysis and Evaluation program in the Stanford University School of Education, interested in education research, program evaluation, and public school reform. Megan is working with SRI's GLOBE evaluation team looking at the ways in which the GLOBE program is implemented in minority communities. The GLOBE team hopes that their findings will help GLOBE administrators better understand how to extend GLOBE to traditionally underrepresented groups in science.
Prior to enrollment at Stanford, Megan worked on school-based research with the Pathways Project of the Department of Educational Psychology at the University of Illinois and at the Coalition of Essential Schools National Office in Oakland, CA. Her undergraduate research on the differences between group and individual problem solving is currently a manuscript under review with the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.
