Trudy Cherasaro
Director of Research
Hi! My name is Trudy Cherasaro and I am a director at Marzano Research. I have provided educators with data, evidence, and practical tools to guide their decision-making for over 20 years. Over the years, I have directed large federal contracts, led evaluations of state, district, and university initiatives, provided training and technical support to educators, worked as a research coordinator in a school district, and taught online educator preparation courses. I have worked across a variety of topics, including teacher preparation, educator evaluation, reading and vocabulary programs, early childhood education, and education leadership. I received my doctorate in educational psychology, with an emphasis in research and evaluation, from the University of Virginia and my bachelor’s degree at the University of Colorado.
I could nerd out about:
- Empowering teachers to conduct and use research
- Data visualization
What I could talk about for hours:
- Funny things my kids say and do
