He carries the title of University Distinguished Professor at Michigan State University and is currently co-director of the Education Policy Center, co-director of the U.S.–China Center for Research, and director of the NSF PROM/SE project.

Previously, he served as national research coordinator and executive director of the U.S. National Center, which oversaw participation of the United States in the IEA-sponsored Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS). He has published in numerous journals, including the Journal of the American Statistical Association, Journal of Educational Statistics, and the Journal of Educational Measurement. He has co-authored eight books, including Why Schools Matter and Teacher Education Matters.
