Our People

At the Charles A. Dana Center, we know that people are our most vital resource.

Our staff’s knowledge and skills add up to actual centuries’ worth of expertise and experience in education, policy, administration, communication, and leadership. We collaborate with respect and openness to develop, introduce, and scale mathematics and science education innovations that improve the experiences of students—especially those who have been underserved—in K–12 and higher education.

Achieving New Levels of Success, Together

Every day at the Dana Center, we explore new ways to redefine success. Far beyond a specific goal or score, it’s ensuring today’s students have equitable pathways to become tomorrow’s leaders—with the skills necessary to achieve upward mobility through postsecondary education and promising careers.
