Ketevan Chachkhiani holds her Ph.D. in Educational Policy and Evaluation from Arizona State University. Her research and professional interests are educational change and post-socialist transformations, teacher policies, teacher education and professional development, and educational leadership. For her Dissertation study, Ketevan explores how different forms of the control dimension of autonomy manifest in teachers’ classroom behavior and student achievement. As part of the USAID, EU, World Bank, and UNICEF-funded programs, Ketevan has designed and led large-scale school reform initiatives and programs in Georgia and other post-socialist countries. Most recently, Ketevan supported the Ministry of Education and Science of Georgia in developing a long-term sectoral strategy in general education. She also has extensive program evaluation experience. In collaboration with the ASU faculty, Ketevan has conducted mixed-methods evaluation studies of several reform interventions in Arizona public schools.
