Marguerite Roza

Marguerite Roza, PhD, serves as a Research Associate Professor with the Center on Reinventing Public Education at the University of Washington. Dr. Roza's research focuses on education spending and productivity in the context of education policy. Recent research has documented the real dollar implications of education policies once realized inside schools and across schools within districts. Her calculations of dollar allocations and cost equivalent tradeoffs have implications for education finance policy at all levels in the education system. Her work has been published by Education Sector, the Brookings Institution, Education Next, and the Peabody Journal of Education. Dr. Roza earned a PhD in Education from the University of Washington. Prior to that, she served as a Lieutenant in the US Navy teaching thermodynamics at the Naval Nuclear Power School.
