Her work has been published in the Journal of Mixed Method Research. Dr. Headley uses her methodological expertise to support a variety of CRESP projects.

Dr. Headley also leads quantitative and statistical analyses of longitudinal administrative data from the Delaware DOE’s State Longitudinal Data System. Years of volunteering, tutoring, and teaching in public schools—working with students of all ages— inspire her interest in research.
