Unterman is a coauthor of reports from MDRC’s evaluation of small high schools in New York City and from the Evaluation of Academic Instruction in After-School Programs. She is involved in the development of an intervention targeting low-income youth that typically “undermatch” during the college application process, is the lead analyst on the Broward County evaluation of ninth-grade Academies, and was an impact analyst on the national evaluation of Reading First. Through these projects, she has had the opportunity to implement a variety of research designs: a random assignment design, a regression discontinuity design, and a comparative interrupted time-series design. She is an advanced SAS programmer and has presented findings from her work at the Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management and American Educational Research Association. In addition to working at MDRC, Unterman is also enrolled at Harvard’s Graduate School of Education where she is pursuing a doctorate in quantitative policy analysis in education. She received a master’s degree in education policy and management from Harvard’s Graduate School of Education and holds a B.A from Northwestern University. Prior to graduate school, she worked as a social studies teacher in a Chicago public school.
