Dr. Michael Broda is an Associate Professor of Quantitative Methods and Statistics at the School of Education at Virginia Commonwealth University. As a former elementary and middle school teacher, he is particularly interested in how to use advanced quantitative research approaches to inform practical challenges faced by schools, teachers, and students. Recently, this has included using social network analysis to better understand social interaction and resource sharing among high school teachers, using multilevel modeling to examine preschool students’ interaction with multi-touch technology, and using intensive longitudinal data analysis and modeling to better understand how students’ classroom engagement changes over the course of the day. Dr. Broda also has a strong interest in the design and implementation of randomized interventions in school settings.
