Dr. Stacey Rutledge is a Professor in the Educational Leadership/Administration and Educational Policy and Evaluation programs in the Department of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies. Her research focuses broadly on understanding how the work of administrators, teachers, guidance counselors, and students is nested within institutional and policy environments and how different approaches to school reform shape school practices and student outcomes. Until recently, she served as a Project Investigator for the National Center for Scaling Up Effective High Schools (NCSU), a center that had as its purpose identifying the programs, policies and practices that make some urban high schools particularly effective and working with these districts to scale these practices. As part of the NCSU work, her team worked with the Broward County Public Schools to scale a joint academic and social emotional innovation called Personalization for Academic and Social Emotional Learning with NCSU partners. Her research has been published in the American Educational Research Journal, American Journal of Education, and Teachers College Record. She is an author of Steps to Schoolwide Success: Systemic Practices for Connecting Social-Emotional and Academic Learning (2020) published by Harvard Education Press.
