About Gregory King

As an educator and researcher I am passionate about collaborating with others to solve complex and systemic problems in education. Regardless of the task, my goal is to help others understand the data that surrounds us to tell help the story about how we improve student outcomes and systems across the country. I truly believe that we are at our best when we are urgently pushing the boundaries of what we know in order to create something that allows every student, teacher, and community member to reach their full potential.

Experience

   In this role I get to lead and collaborate on efficacy research that tells the story of how education products can improve education for students, classrooms, and communities. This means I focus on designing and conducting complex (e.g, mixed-method, quasi-experimental) implementation and efficacy studies with a team of researchers. The team provides deep technical expertise on research design, analysis, and interpretation specifically for Curriculum Associates mathematic related products to increase internal and external understanding of product use, fidelity of implementation, and provide insight necessary to improve outcomes.Our team manages multiple large and high-profile research initiatives, including making recommendations about choice of method or model based on research question to be answered, and overseeing data collection and implementation of methods/models by other researchers leading to increased efficiency in research delivery. We work with large and complex databases from multiple sources providing technical guidance to other researchers, as well as collaborating with various teams at Curriculum Associates, the Associate Vice President of the Research Strategy team, and other senior leaders to determine the annual research priorities for efficacy and implementation.
