Associate Professor,
Stanford University

Ben Domingue is an associate professor at the Stanford Graduate School of Education. He is also a faculty director at Policy Analysis for California Education (PACE). Domingue is interested in how student outcomes are leveraged to inform understanding of student learning, teacher performance, and the efficacy of other programs. He has a particular interest in the technical issues that make it challenging to draw simple inferences from student outcomes. When not analyzing item response data, he explores the implications for social science of the sudden increase in our capacity to measure human DNA and how this new data may change our understanding of human behavior. Domingue received his PhD from the University of Colorado Boulder.

Changing Patterns of Growth in Oral Reading Fluency During the COVID-19 Pandemic
We use data from oral reading fluency (ORF) assessments to examine COVID-19’s effects on children’s ORF in over 100 U.S. school districts. Students’ development of ORF largely stopped in spring 2020 following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. In…
