Albert Cheng is an educational researcher and professor at the University of Arkansas, was a post-doctoral research fellow at Harvard's Program on Education Policy and Governance, and was once a high school math teacher.

In this conversation, I ask Albert to share some of his most interesting findings from the Education Next Poll: https://www.educationnext.org/public-support-climbs-teacher-pay-school-expenditures-charter-schools-universal-vouchers-2018-ednext-poll/.

Likewise, I ask Albert to share some of his experience as a researcher and why its important, and lastly, I ask him to share about his findings in regards to the role of faith in education whether that be in religious schools or the faith of educators. He is doing more research on this area, but some earlier research he has done includes this article produced in the Journal of Catholic Education: https://digitalcommons.lmu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=http://www.uaedreform.org/albert-cheng/&httpsredir=1&article=1882&context=ce.
