Profile

Dr. Wayman's teaching and research interests focus on the use of data for school improvement, and quantitative research methods. Dr. Wayman's research on data-based decision-making includes efficient structures for creating data-informed school districts, software that delivers student data to educators, effective leadership for data use, and systemic supports that enable widespread teacher use of student data.

Dr. Wayman?s current research projects include a 3-year study funded by The Spencer Foundation titled ?The Data-Informed District: Implementation and Effects of a District-Wide Data Initiative,? and a two-year evaluation of the effects of the Acuity data system on student achievement in a large urban district.

In 2008, Dr. Wayman received the Jack A. Culbertson award from the University Council for Educational Administration. This award is given to a junior professor for significant contributions to the field of educational administration.

Prior to joining the UT faculty, Dr. Wayman worked at Johns Hopkins University with the Center for Social Organization of Schools, at Colorado State University in the area of prevention research, and as a junior high math teacher in Kansas City and Salt Lake City.

Dr. Wayman and his stunning wife Luz Helena are the proud parents of Alejandra (6 years old) and Andrew (4 years old).
