Publications, Presentations, & Working Papers
Candieas's academic writing synthesizes the historical formation of education policy systems and the implications of institutional quality on human development. His writing addresses how globalized conditions shape educational policy systems and the subsequent impact on human development outcomes for historically underrepresented students. His academic framework for evaluating institutional quality has been applied in the U.S. and internationally.
His empirical research utilizes evaluation methodology to address policy system logic and the implications of institutional quality. Candieas links public education policy goals to humanistic outcomes by focusing on theories of change, participatory evaluation, and program context. Candieas's research and evaluation work has created essential roles for institutional leaders and program managers as facilitators of organizational change.
