One of RMME’s newest members of the Graduate Certificate Program in Program Evaluation has reached an academic milestone! Dr. Emily Acevedo, a current kindergarten teacher in New York, recently completed her dissertation entitled, “Teacher’s Implementation of Play-Based Learning Practices and Barriers Encountered in Kindergarten Classrooms,” at Walden University. Congratulations to Dr. Acevedo on this outstanding accomplishment!

Congratulations to RMME faculty member, Dr. D. Betsy McCoach, who recently released two new outstanding statistical modeling books. Both works include contributions from RMME Community members. Be sure to check these out today:

Introduction to Modern Modelling Methods – Co-authored by RMME alumnus, Dr. Dakota Cintron, this book introduces readers to multilevel modeling, structural equation modeling, and longitudinal modeling. A fantastic resource for quantitative researchers!

Multilevel Modeling Methods with Introductory and Advanced Applications – Including contributions from current and former RMME faculty (D. Betsy McCoach, Chris Rhoads, H. Jane Rogers, Aarti P. Bellara), as well as RMME alumni (Sarah D. Newton, Anthony J. Gambino, Eva Yujia Li), this text offers readers a comprehensive introduction to multilevel modeling. It is an excellent resource for aspiring and established multilevel modelers, covering foundational skills through cutting-edge, advanced multilevel techniques. A must-have for every multilevel modeler’s bookshelf!

RMME Alumnus, Dr. Dakota W. Cintron, and RMME faculty members, Drs. Eric Loken and D. Betsy McCoach recently published a new article entitled, “A Cautionary Note about Having the Right Mixture Model but Classifying the Wrong People“.
