Steven Tedeschi
Researcher

Hi! I’m Steven Tedeschi, a researcher at Marzano Research. I work on a variety of projects that include state-level and district-level evaluation, American Indian education, rural education, and survey development, administration, and analysis. I’m guided in my work by believing in the importance of bridging the gap between research and educators. I seek to ensure that the work of each project meets the needs of those in the field and that the research outcomes are communicated in a digestible and useful way to drive forward the conversation around policy and practice.  

I’m a Teach For America alumnus and have eight years of experience in education as a practitioner in tribal, traditional public, and charter schools. In fact, my career in education started on the Pine Ridge reservation in beautiful western South Dakota. Before my career in education, I was an airman in the U.S. Air Force.  

I received a Master of Arts degree in Urban Education Policy from Brown University. I also received a Bachelor of Arts in History with a focus on pre-1877 U.S. History from Rhode Island College.
