Biography

Tutrang Nguyen is a PhD candidate in the School of Education with a specialization in Educational Policy and Social Context. She is broadly interested in topics related to early childhood development, care, and education, using rigorous and multiple methods to inform public policy. Her research focuses on: 1) how to prepare children to transition successfully to school, 2) the “active” ingredients of what makes preschool effective, and 3) interventions and policies that support the wellbeing of children and families from low-income, ethnic minority backgrounds. She primarily conducts quantitative analyses of longitudinal, administrative, and survey data, but also has experience collecting and analyzing observational classroom data.
​
Tutrang’s dissertation examines the influence of various preschool curricula on children’s school readiness skills, for whom they work best, and how they are implemented in the classroom context. To conduct this research, she was awarded a two-year grant from the Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation under the Administration for Children and Families in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. She has also been awarded the prestigious Eugene Cota-Robles Fellowship in support of her doctoral studies.

She earned her B.A. in Mathematics and Liberal Studies, cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa, from the University of California, Riverside and her M.A. in Education from the University of California, Irvine. She will finish her PhD in spring of 2018, and is currently on the job market seeking an academic or research-focused position for her postdoctoral career.
