I am Dr Kevin Korous. I am a data-driven decision maker. As a researcher, writer, and statistician, I gather data and summarize evidence to understand and communicate the environmental, social, and cultural factors that shape children's socio-emotional development and educational success. I blend my interests to lead, inform my choices, build networks, and advocate for pubic education and equity.
