My research focuses on the role of the Common Core State Standards in secondary school writing education, and how standards tests do (or do not) affect what teachers do. I combine this attention to teaching and administration with student interviews, to see how the work done in those high school classrooms follows students to college.

Through all of this work, I sustain one central idea: writing is an opportunity to explore your sense of self and how you can make your way in the world. To do this, writers need readers and teachers who are intellectually and emotionally supportive and inclusive, and who are willing to open up the available repertoire of writing possibilities.
