Biography
Andrew F. Miller is an educational leadership and policy scholar who conducts research in and about U.S. Catholic PreK-12 schools and systems, exploring if/how Catholic school leaders provide a socially just, transformative education for the students who attend America's Catholic schools. The research he conducts focuses on three major lines of inquiry: (1) understanding the internal organizational dynamics of U.S. Catholic school systems; (2) assessing how Catholic school and system leaders navigate contemporary policy environments; and (3) examining the ways different Catholic, public, and charter systems have attempted to pursue organizational change. Dr. Miller has been committed to enhancing the quality of teaching, learning, and leadership in Catholic schools throughout his career. Prior to his academic appointment, Dr. Miller worked as a middle school teacher at St. George Catholic School in Fort Worth, TX, as an instructional coach with the Urban Catholic Teacher Corps of Boston College, and as Director of Academics at the Archdiocese of Boston Catholic Schools Office. As a faculty member in the Educational Leadership and Higher Education department, Dr. Miller teaches and advises graduate students in the M.Ed. Educational Leadership and Policy program (particularly Catholic Leadership Cohort and UCTC dual-degree students). He also teaches several core content and research methods courses in the Educational Leadership Ed.D. program (PSAP). Dr. Miller earned his Ph.D. from the Lynch School in 2017 where his work focused on the intersections of teacher preparation and education reform policy. Miller was a co-author (with Marilyn Cochran-Smith and other members of the Teacher Education and Education Reform research team) of Reclaiming Accountability in Teacher Education, which has won awards from AERA, the Society of Professors of Education, and the American Educational Studies' Association.
