I conduct research, teach, and supervise graduate students in the areas of mixed methods research, program evaluation, qualitative research, classroom assessment and health sciences education. I have been awarded a McCalla Teaching Professorship to enhance mixed methods research capacity (2020-2022).
I am a faculty member in the Measurement, Evaluation, and Data Science (MEDs) program area within the Faculty of Education. We offer a comprehensive training program where students participate in ongoing research, complete coursework, and are supervised by experts in the field.
As co-founder of the interdisciplinary Alberta Clinical and Community-based Evaluation Research Team (ACCERT), since 2009, Dr. Jacqueline Pei and I, together with more than 30 graduate students, have been building community–university research partnerships to advance innovative thinking and supports for program planning and impact assessments of service delivery for individuals with complex needs.
