Megan is a postdoctoral fellow on the Measuring Network Health Project at Vanderbilt University. Her research focuses on school and district improvement and the organizations that support educational improvement. She uses mixed methods, qualitative, and quantitative approaches to examine three primary concerns related to educational improvement: 1) The leadership strategies and organizational conditions that support learning and improvement within organizations; 2) Partnerships, networks, and other forms of inter-organizational collaboration that have the potential to catalyze learning and improvement between organizations; and 3) Policy and institutional contexts that mediate organizational and system improvement efforts. She holds a PhD and MA in education policy from Teachers College, Columbia University and a MS in middle school education from Bank Street College of Education. In addition, Dr. Duff formerly worked as a Middle School English teacher and teacher leader in New York City traditional and charter schools.
