I teach introductory measurement and assessment,
introductory statistics, and advanced psychometrics. My research interests
include educational measurement, scaling (particularly multidimensional
scaling) and the assessment of growth in educational settings. I am a fellow
of the American Psychological Association, author of Multidimensional
Scaling, editor of Applied Psychological Measurement, an
editorial board member for the Journal of Adult Development, past-president
of APA Division 5 (Evaluation, Measurement, and Statistics), former chair of
the APA committee on psychological testing and assessment, and co-director
of the Minnesota Interdisciplinary Training in Education Research (MITER)
Program. Students interested in full-time Ph.D. study and the application of
interdisciplinary research to problems in education may be interested in the
MITER Program.
