Grossman joined MDRC in 2011 as a part-time Senior Fellow in our K-12 Education Policy Area. She is working on the Edna McConnell Clark Foundation’s Social Innovation Fund project, leading our evaluation of the BELL summer program. She is also providing senior technical review of the impact analysis in the College Match Project. In 2012, she will begin work as project director of a new project on professional development for middle-school mathematics teachers.
In addition to her position at MDRC, Grossman teaches courses on program evaluation and youth programs as a member of the faculty of Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and is a part-time Senior Fellow at Public/Private Ventures, where she has worked on major social policy evaluations. Immediately prior to joining MDRC, Grossman served as Chief Evaluation Officer for the U.S. Department of Labor, where she was responsible for developing and overseeing evaluations for all agencies in the Department, including evaluations of training programs, the unemployment insurance program, worker protection strategies, and worker benefit programs. She has over two decades of experience developing and conducting both qualitative and quantitative evaluations of a wide variety of social programs — employment and training, health, welfare, dropout prevention, teen pregnancy prevention, education, and youth programs — including a dozen random assignment evaluations. Grossman is an economist who received her B.A. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1976 and her Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1980.
