Jacob Adams joined the School of Educational Studies as professor in summer 2006. His research addresses the policy context of education, particularly ways in which governance and finance policies and implementation practices influence school capacity. Currently he directs the School Finance Redesign Project, exploring how K-12 school finance can be redesigned to better support student performance, and chairs the National Working Group on Funding Student Success. He is the author of Taking Charge of Curriculum: Teacher Networks and Policy Implementation (Teachers College Press, 2000). Before joining the CGU faculty, he was a research associate professor in the University of Washington’s Daniel J. Evans School of Public Affairs and an associate professor of education and public policy at Peabody College, Vanderbilt University, where he also served as director of the graduate program in educational policy and chair of the Peabody College Faculty Council.

He chaired the boards of directors of the Kentucky Institute for Education Research and Abintra Montessori School (Nashville, TN) and is a former member of the editorial board of the journal Leadership & Policy in Schools. Professor Adams has been a consultant to the National Commission on Governing America’s Schools, National Forum on Accountability, National Research Council, and various school districts.
