Biography

Stacey L. Brockman, Ph.D. is an assistant professor of educational leadership and policy studies at Wayne State University. Dr. Brockman spent a significant portion of her career as a high school teacher, teacher educator, and intervention specialist. Through that work, she developed an understanding of how educational policies and environments shape students' college and career readiness and pathways.

Brockman's work aims to advance equitable access to postsecondary education. She conducts partner-engaged research alongside school leaders and policy-makers that informs the implementation of educational programs and policies. Her recent research has examined Detroit high school graduates' college access and pathways; the ways in which career mentoring can shape high schoolers' readiness for college; and the impacts of the Detroit Promise Path community college coaching program.

Area of Expertise

  • Educational programs and polices that promote equity in college access and success
  • Partner-engaged research on school- and community-based programs
  • Experimental and quasi-experimental methods to identify the causal impacts of educational interventions
  • Postsecondary pathways of Detroit high school graduates

Research Interests

I study the assets and constraints that shape students' college and career readiness and pathways. My scholarship spans K-12 and higher education contexts and is focused on reducing inequities in postsecondary education access, persistence, and success. My multiple-method program of research uses quantitative methods, primarily quasi-experimental and experimental designs, to identify the causal impacts of educational interventions on student outcomes, as well as qualitative analyses of students' perceptions and experiences. For many of my research studies, I partner with educational agencies to conduct evaluations of their policies and programs. I view this work as critical and complementary to my research interests. In addition to answering theoretical questions in the literature, I believe it is imperative to support agencies’ current efforts towards improving the opportunities of their most marginalized students.
