Ali Shriberg
Present Position:
In September 2004, I began working for the Grow Network in New
York City. The Grow Network is an educational company that works
with states and school districts to develop instructional reporting
programs crafted to their particular needs. At Grow, I will be
a Client Manager and work directly with school districts to help
them fulfill their needs for customized reports.
Area of expertise:
My area of expertise is K-12 education with an emphasis on early
reading/literacy.
Prior to coming to the Dual Degree Program:
Prior to graduate school, I worked for 5 years at Score Educational
Centers, an educational company that runs after-school tutoring
centers across the country. At Score, I served in several positions,
including running a specific center, standardizing operations
at a corporate level, and managing a region of centers.
What I Learned in the Dual Degree Program:
I learned many things on many levels in the dual degree program.
On a content level, I learned the fundamentals of business and
K-12 administration and policy. My studies at the two schools
often overlapped and I was able to incorporate my understanding
of one area into the other. Further, the work requirements (i.e.
papers, tests, projects, etc.) at each school often differed,
which enabled me to broaden my academic skills. As a cofounder
of the program, I also learned a lot about making change at a
large institution. I believe that future students will also develop
these skills as they progress through the program.
