Jackson Stenner Biography :

Dr. Jack Stenner and Malbert Smith III, Ph.D. founded MetaMetrics, Inc. with the first of five Small Business Innovation Research grants from the National Institutes of Health. Dating back to its founding in 1984, MetaMetrics has focused on developing new ways of matching students to targeted material in order to foster better educational practices and improve learning. The company’s more than 15 years of research in reading culminated in The Lexile Framework for Reading, a common, developmental scale for measuring reader ability and text difficulty. In 2004, MetaMetrics introduced The Quantile Framework for Mathematics, which measures mathematics achievement and the difficulty of mathematical skills and tasks similar to the way Lexiles measure reading ability and text readability. Today, Drs. Stenner and Smith lead MetaMetrics as Lexiles become the global standard for matching readers to text, and Quantiles gain momentum in measuring student performance in mathematics. Recognized as one of the world’s foremost psychometricians, Dr. Stenner has published more than 60 papers, monographs and books, primarily on statistical and evaluation methodology. He was a co-principal investigator, with Eleanor E. Sanford-Moore, Ph.D., MetaMetrics’ vice president of research and development, on the Quantile Framework. Under Dr. Stenner’s direction, MetaMetrics developed The Lexile Framework for Writing, which measures student writing ability and growth. Outside of MetaMetrics, Dr. Stenner is president of the Institute for Objective Measurement and past president of the Professional Billiard Tour Association. He is a board member for the National Institute for Statistical Sciences and a past board member for Duke Children’s Hospital and the North Carolina Electronics and Information Technologies Association. He is also a member of and presents to various national and international educational research and measurement associations.Dr. Stenner received his Ph.D. in educational psychology, with an emphasis in measurement, research design and evaluation methodology, from Duke University, and dual undergraduate degrees in psychology and education from the University of Missouri Saint Louis. He has taught graduate seminars at Duke University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
