Anja Kurki

Managing Researcher

Anja Kurki has extensive research project management experience and has led various tasks including recruitment, large-scale data collections, data analyses, and report writing on several randomized controlled trials funded by the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) and the U.S. Department of Education. She currently works as the project director for the IES-funded Good Behavioral Game Professional Development Models study, managing all aspects of the study including recruitment, data collection, analyses and result dissemination.

In addition, Dr. Kurki led the recruitment task for the IES-funded Teacher and Leader Evaluation Systems study, overseeing development of recruitment materials, training, and the recruitment of districts and schools.
