Graczewski is currently the project director for AIR’s work on the national Impact Evaluation for Race to the Top and School Improvement Grants. She has assisted in the development of state and district interview protocols for this evaluation. She also served as the internal lead for state and district recruitment, provided oversight of state and district data collection, conducted district and state phone interviews, and is participating in the analysis and report writing for the first and second year results.

Previously, Graczewski served as the lead for California Comprehensive Center’s work with the California Department of Education in improving supplemental educational services across the state, as well as the qualitative task leader for the Comprehensive School Reform Quality Center. This Center reviewed CSR programs and presented its findings in an ongoing series of consumer-friendly reports.

Graczewski also served as the associate project director for the study of the Policies, Procedures, and Practices Affecting the Education of Children Residing in Group Homes, a study contracted by the California Department of Education to develop recommendations on improving the educational services provided to children in group homes in California.
