As a graduate student in the CTER program at UIUC, I've had the opportunity to explore the range of issues facing education and educators today. A summary of some of that work is accessible below.

Regional Economic Review-Build an economic index for the rest of us…
The Project
Often statistics compiled and maintained by various authorities fail to match the experience of individuals. This is particularly true when it comes to economic data. Broad measures of the economy, by their very nature, often lose meaning as they fail to accurately reflect local, regional or even national outcomes. We frequently ask, “What reality is the authority measuring?” Further, input into broad economic measures seldom take into account the perspective of students—this is their chance to have a “say.”
