Amy B. Schulting

Research Scientist

My current research is focused on the design and implementation of teacher-led truancy prevention efforts in the primary grades. Along with my colleagues, Philip Cook, Kenneth Dodge, Elizabeth Gifford, and Erika Hallerman, we are implementing The Early Truancy Prevention Project, funded by a Development and Innovation Grant from the Institute of Education Sciences. The Early Truancy Prevention Project takes a multi-pronged approach, integrating universal teacher home visits, teacher-led interventions for chronically-absent students, and innovative technology to guide and document teacher intervention efforts.

In addition to earning a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Duke University (2010), I also completed a M.Ed. in Education Administration from the University of Virginia (2002).”

Education:

• Ph.D. Duke University - 2010
• M.Ed. University of Virginia - 2002
• B.A. Northwestern University - 1995
