Stephanie Jones is the Marie and Max Kargman Associate Professor in Human Development and Urban Education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Her research focuses on the longitudinal effects of poverty and exposure to violence on social, emotional, and behavioral development from early childhood through adolescence. Much of her recent work has focused on exploring social-emotional and behavioral factors across the developmental spectrum, with an emphasis on conducting rigorous scientific research while also creating translational and applied products for the early and middle childhood practitioner and policy communities. For example, over the past five years via funding from IES, NICHD, and community-based sources, she has designed and led a series of multi-year, multi-site projects related to the development, implementation, and evaluation of SECURe, a school-based intervention that targets executive function, self-regulation, and social-emotional skills in preK-3 grade settings. Jones holds a doctorate in developmental psychology from Yale University, where she trained with Edward Zigler. In 2008, Jones was awarded the Grawemeyer Award in Education for her work with Zigler and Walter Gilliam on A Vision for Universal Preschool Education, published by Cambridge University Press, and in 2013, Jones was awarded the Joseph E. Zins Early-Career Distinguished Contribution Award for Action Research in Social and Emotional Learning, from the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL). jonesst@gse.harvard.edu
