Tina M. Trujillo

Tina M. Trujillo is an associate professor in the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Education. She uses tools from political science, critical policy studies, and critical race theory to study the politics of educational change; the democratic and instructional consequences of national and state accountability policies for students of color and English Learners; trends in urban educational leadership; and the relationships between different international political contexts and schools’ promotion of democratic values like collectivism, welfarism, and the common good. She is a former urban public school teacher and has worked as both an educational evaluator and school reform consultant. Her work is published in a range of journals, including American Educational Research Journal, Teachers College Record, Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, and McSweeney's Quarterly.
