The Policy, Organizations, Leadership, and Systems division hosts Dr. Tolani Britton, who will share her research and focus as it relates to the themes of this year’s One Book, One GSE program with a talk titled, "Difficult Lessons on Prediction from Wisconsin Public Schools."
Professor Tolani Britton (she/her) uses quasi-experimental methods to explore the impact of policies on students’ transition from secondary school to higher education, as well as access and retention in higher education.
