Randall Sampson, PhD

Randall Sampson, PhD, ensures equity and access for inner city students through innovative STEMLab, Fast Track, New Start models. He has experience at the 6-12 secondary education level as an administrator and as a teacher. He specializes in the area of closing the achievement gap, a skill set he honed through the Harvard University Achievement Gap Initiative and through teacher quality research with Initiative Director Dr. Ronald F. Ferguson. As a practitioner, Randall's analysis of students’ performance data provided a national value-add approach to building sustainable learning environments. At his former high school Westerville North High School, such practices led him to identify gaps in student enrollment in Advance Placement (AP) courses that led the school district to create systemic corrective measures to improve student learning outcomes.
