Eric Camburn
   Associate Professor

Eric Camburn, is an associate professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and senior researcher at the Consortium for Policy Research in Education.  Camburn’s research focuses on instructional improvement, especially in urban public schools. His early work documented the difficulty low-income and minority students in urban schools have in negotiating the transitions from elementary school to high school and from high school to postsecondary education. Camburn’s current research involves two related lines of inquiry: 1) investigation of factors that support instructional improvement, and 2) the use of survey methods for studying instructional improvement.  Research in the first area is further divided into three related topics—how the nature of learning opportunities provided to teachers affect their improvement efforts, how leadership can serve as a resource that supports teachers’ improvement efforts, and how comprehensive reform programs can support instructional change.
