Caitlin Scott
Director
Greetings! I’m Caitlin Scott, a Director at Marzano Research. I love my job because I get to work with collaborative teams, using research and evaluation to help educators make positive changes that benefit all students. I have more than 20 years of experience in education, including as a teacher, a tutor/trainer, an evaluator, a researcher, a research manager, and a director. In all this work, I’ve focused on educator learning and change, and on improving instruction and opportunities for each and every student. I earned my doctorate in teaching and learning at Cleveland State University, my Master of Teaching in special education at the University of Virginia, and my bachelor’s degree at Oberlin College.
Before coming to Marzano Research, I was the research director for the Learning Policy Institute, where I created and managed internal processes to ensure high-quality research products. I was also formerly a research manager at Education Northwest and a consultant at the Center on Education Policy. I’ve led large-scale projects in Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska, Washington, Wyoming, and other states. I’m a product of the Little Rock public schools in Arkansas, where my mother served on the state board of education. She taught me at an early age that public education is essential, both for individuals and society at large.
Evaluation of Literacy Initiatives:
I oversee the evaluation of literacy initiatives such as the Wyoming Believing in Literacy Together initiative, which is part of a Comprehensive Literacy State Development (CLSD) grant; the Alaska Literacy Partnership, which is part of the Regional Educational Laboratory in the Northwest; the evaluation of Alaska’ and South Dakota’s CLSD grants; and Marzano Research’s literacy supports for districts and schools.
