Bio

Claudia Galindo is an associate professor of education policy at the University of Maryland, College Park. Her research, teaching, and service demonstrate a strong commitment to improving educational opportunities for racial and ethnic minority students in K-12 grades, with an emphasis on the Latinx community. Her projects highlight the cultural assets and strengths of historically underserved families and children and are grounded in eco-cultural perspectives, which emphasize the importance of structural, historical, and cultural contexts as well as the interactions among those contexts. Her research also examines key mechanisms in families and schools that may perpetuate or ameliorate inequalities.

She also conducts interdisciplinary and mixed-methods research to study the implementation of programs and strategies aimed at improving the educational experiences and outcomes of underserved students. She studies full-service community schools, a re-emerging reform that focuses on the holistic needs of students and their families, in Baltimore City. As a member of Baltimore’s Strategic Committee on Evaluation and Implementation on Full Service Schools, she collaborates with school officials and researchers on how to evaluate schools’ effectiveness. She also conducts formative evaluations of school-family partnerships and after-school and tutoring programs in elementary and high schools.
