Feedback from Organizations
Center for Research Use in Education
"We engaged Matthew in the review and development of a curriculum supporting linkages between research and practice. Matthew's knowledge and experiences working with a range of educators on issues related to evidence use was invaluable to helping our team think critically about and improve our program. He was a wonderful collaborator and thought partner - we can't wait to work with him again!
