As a first-generation college student and an avid fan of the University of California public school system, Huy Chung received his Ph.D. at UC Irvine’s School of Education under the Learning, Cognition, and Development (LCD) and Language, Literacy, and Technology (LLT) specializations. His interests in teacher education and professional development for English Language Arts teachers bridge the two concentrations.
Since finishing his dissertation in November 2015, he was a post-doctoral scholar at UC Davis working with Professor Jamal Abedi to hone his quantitative skills but also to expand his understanding of research on English Learners. He managed and worked on three federally funded programs regarding formative assessments in mathematics, testing accommodations for English Learners, and an evaluation of the Writing Reform and Innovation for Teaching Excellence (WRITE) professional development program. He is excited to be back at UC Irvine to work with Professor Carol Booth Olson as the Writing Project Director of Research overseeing the research efforts of the Pathway Project’s OELA and i3 grants.
