Center Director, Dan Goldhaber's Testimony before the Senate HELP Committee
Chairman Alexander, Ranking Member Murray, members of the committee, thank you for inviting me to testify today. My name is Dan Goldhaber and I am the director of the National Center for Analysis of Longitudinal Data in Education Research (CALDER) at the American Institutes for Research and the director of the Center for Education Data and Research at the University of Washington Bothell. I have been engaged in research on schools and student achievement for about 20 years, and much of my work focuses on the broad array of human capital policies that influence the composition, distribution, and quality of teachers in the workforce.
