In addition, Dr. Terry provides evaluation capacity building services and technical assistance to state departments of education served by the Southwest Regional Education Laboratory and the Southeast and Texas Comprehensive Centers.

With more than 18 years working as an education evaluation researcher, Dr. Terry has experience with all aspects of evaluation studies. As a consultant in Michigan, she served as the local evaluator for the federally-funded 21st Century Community Learning Centers (CLC) in the School District of the City of Highland Park.
