Bio

Jeannie Myung is a research associate for the Learning Teaching program at the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. At Carnegie she leads 90-day inquiry cycles to investigate technical issues relevant to the design and implementation of assessment systems in states and districts; coordinates the development of a dynamic knowledge network that synthesizes the state of the field of teacher assessment for a non-technical audience; and organizes convenings of researchers, tool developers, practitioners and policy makers to facilitate productive conversations about the assessment of teaching to improve student learning.

Previously, she has worked as a researcher for the Teacher Pathways Project, the School Leadership Research Project of the Center for Education Policy Analysis, and the Institute for Research on Education Policy and Practice. Her research has focused on school district human capital practices that work to build and sustain stronger teacher and principal workforces. Her recent publications include "Economic Approaches to Teacher Recruitment and Retention" (2010, The International Encyclopedia of Education), "Tapping the Principal Pipeline: Identifying Talent for Future School Leadership in the Absence of Formal Succession Management Programs" (2011, Educational Administration Quarterly), and “Learning to Teach in New York City: How Teachers and Schools Jointly Determine the Implementation of a District-Wide Mentoring Program” (forthcoming, NSSE Yearbook: Organization and Effectiveness of Induction Programs for New Teachers). She completed her doctoral work in Administration and Policy Analysis at the Stanford University School of Education. She has had experience teaching as an elementary public school teacher in San Jose, California. Jeannie holds a B.A. in political science from Yale College.
