Ramon Martinez
Assistant Professor of Education
BioDr. Martínez explores the intersections of language, race, and ideology in the public schooling experiences of students of color, with a particular focus on bi/multilingual Chicana/o and Latina/o children and youth.

Ana Montosa
Master of Arts Student in Education, admitted Autumn 2020
BioI was born in a medium-sized city in the south of Brazil. I moved to São Paulo to start college, and lived there for the last 10 years.
When younger, my dream was to become a great CEO. For that to come true, I graduated in Business Administration and decided to begin my career at Kearney, as an strategy consultant. About 4 years ago I went to Costa Rica to work as a volunteer teacher and, after getting to closely know amazing children from vulnerable areas, I decided to completely change my career path. I quit my job and started working at Ensina Brasil (part of Teach for All network), with the intent to support the development of a strong network of leaders that could positively impact Brazilian public education system.
Now, my dream is to contribute to a country with more equitable access to opportunities, to ensure all children can fulfill their potential. For that to happen, I believe that we need to strengthen our public education system. That is why I am interested in studying how to design and implement innovative public policies, and how to support the establishment of a hopeful government team that tirelessly fights for equity and excellence in our schools. -
Crystal A. Moore

Research Associate, SociologyBioCrystal A.

She works with Linda Darling-Hammond, Ben Domingue, David Labaree and Mitchell Stevens at Stanford. Crystal has an undergraduate degree in public policy from the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University and a master’s degree in elementary education from the University of Pennsylvania.
Crystal’s research interests converge at the intersection of race, class, democracy and education, looking at the social, emotional and academic components of student well-being. She draws from theories related to social capital and stratification with an explicit interest in differences based on race, class, geography and language proficiency. Her research projects explore how changing urban demographics impact educational opportunities and outcomes, political and financial support for public education and district success achieving their stated goals. They build on the literature of child development, continuous improvement, effective schools, leadership, positive outliers, social emotional learning, suburbanization, trauma, urbanization and 90/90/90 schools. Racial, ethnic and language politics also are major themes in her research projects.
Crystal’s current scholarship is informed by two decades of experience in education. She is driven by a lifelong passion for developing racially diverse, high performing, urban public schools. For over ten years, she worked as a consultant on a number of school improvement projects, including community schools, independent school equity, individualized instructional plans, new school design and quantitative diversity research. Her areas of practice include change management, continuous improvement, leadership development, school design, and staff training. Her last full-time position was coaching principals for the DC State Superintendent of Education’s Learning Support Network, providing leadership coaching, technical assistance and professional development to four Priority school leaders.
