As a Research Associate, I vetted schools, programs, and practices for the Schools That Work project. I ensured a pipeline of school leads for the project, analyzed school data, and interviewed faculty at schools to identify successful practices. I wrote production briefs that summarized all information on a school to assist the video team in identifying key practices to film.I was also part of Edutopia's Social Media team, where I monitored our social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, Pinterest) on a daily basis. I managed our Google Plus and Pinterest pages, posting daily content, building community, and curating high-quality educational content. Show less
