“Dr. Jackson consulted with us on a Feedback Loop pilot that occurred in 12 communities to systematically leverage the communities' voice to co-create change. During the consultancy, Dr. Jackson completed focus groups, key informant interviews, and analyzed primary data to help us better understand factors that shape community development. Throughout the consultancy, Dr. Jackson provided culturally responsive evaluation practices to help us make programmatic enhancements. Her insight and expertise continues to help shape the lens we use to view future community development work.”

“Dr. Jackson met with the project team numerous times to discuss the data and analytical methods. The statistical analysis and impartial points of view contributed by Dr. Jackson…. greatly contributed to the research.”

“Dr. Jackson and I collaborated on a predictive analytics and ethnographic research project with technical colleges in Southwest Florida. She was brought into the project because of her expertise in quantitative analysis and research methods, as well as for her experience leading colleges through transitions toward data-based decision making and devising strategies to address achievement gaps for black, Latinx, and low-income students. She was able to use not only her experience and expertise, but also her leadership to guide often questioning institutions toward a data-informed path to improve student outcomes. Additionally, she was wonderful to collaborate with and demonstrated the ability to adapt to meet goals.”

“I believe evaluation should always be rigorous, systematic, flexible, and supportive. Each is important to effectively provide credible and meaningful analysis to inform decisions. Dr. Jackson’s work reflected attention to each and resulted in a high-quality product.”
