After that, He worked as a secondary school principal qualification program coordinator at the National Academy for Educational Administrators at Seoul National University in Korea. Until 2024, He was a lab manager of a federally funded project (The Early Writing Project) to provide professional development for elementary teachers who have students with difficulties in writing. He served as a Post-Doctoral Associate at the Department of Educational Psychology, University of Minnesota, Twin-Cities (2024-2026). His major role was managing the data for two federally funded (Institute of Education Sciences; IES) projects that entail large-scale efficacy trials of educational technology focusing on literacy and mathematics.
Dr. An's research focuses on integrating literacy assessment into data-informed instructional systems to support teachers working with students who experience significant difficulties in literacy (reading and writing) and language. Ultimately, Dr. An's research goal is to develop equitable and instructionally useful approaches that improve literacy outcomes for diverse learners. He is currently involved in projects related to AI-supported coaching model development in Language to Literacy Research Lab (https://langlitlab.stanford.edu/) and computer-adaptive assessment of language and literacy skills (https://roar.stanford.edu/). He is also currently serving as a Principle Investigator (PI) of the project titled "Toward Early and Equitable Identification of Instructional Responsiveness" funded by APA Division 15 Early Career Research Grant ($8,200). -

Jeannette Garcia Coppersmith
Postdoctoral Scholar, Education
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsJeannette is interested in understanding the instructional, cultural, and psychosocial mechanisms that contribute to-- and help to mitigate-- disparities in mathematics education. Her work sits at the intersections between teacher education, mathematics education, and social psychology. Using methods from the field of measurement, experimental designs, computational methods, and qualitative approaches, and pulling from critical perspectives and implicit social cognition theory, she aims to better understand the factors that shape teachers’ instructional decision-making and student opportunities to learn in reform-oriented math classrooms. Guiding her work is a vision for a more just education system and a fundamental belief that all children deserve rigorous, relevant and joyful learning experiences in mathematics.
