T
ina Trujillo studies the potential of policy and administrative levers to help create more equitable educational systems for traditionally underserved student populations. Using concepts from the politics of education and sociology, she currently examines how high-stakes accountability policies have established state-determined performance goals for districts and schools, and the resulting expansion of centralized instructional regimes that prioritize program coherence and systemic alignment. She is interested in the political and organizational dynamics that shape educational leaders' responses to these policies, as well as the types of instruction that are advanced, suppressed, or overlooked under such regimes - particularly for low-income students of color. A former urban public school teacher, school reform coach, and educational evaluator, Tina builds on her practical experience as inspiration for and insight into research and teaching. At Berkeley, she teaches Ph.D. students in POME and prepares educational leaders in the Leadership for Educational Equity Doctoral Program (LEEP) and Principal Leadership Institute (PLI).
