To generate the rankings, the 2018 RHSU Selection Committee utilized a scoring rubric to identify “extraordinary public scholar excels in five areas: disciplinary scholarship, policy analysis and popular writing, convening and shepherding collaborations, providing incisive commentary, and speaking in the public square.” The measures for calculating the scores incorporate a range of criteria, including mentions in the education press and mainstream news, scholarly citations, and web presence and social media.

 

The 2018 rankings include prominent scholars in education, with faculty from Harvard and Stanford topping the list. Begin featured on the list of 200 scholars is a significant accomplishment, as nearly 20,000 university-based faculty in the US qualify for consideration.

“I am honored to once again be listed among such a distinguished group of scholars and educators,” said Dean Grogan.
