Danny Mucinskas
Danny has worked on both U.S. and international research that has partnered with educators to investigate topics like the nature of "good work," ethical decision-making, character growth, and the short- and long-term impacts of educational experiences on students.
PZ Work
Danny has worked extensively with The Good Project, including most recently on a multi-year investigation of the implementation and effects of a set of resources focused on "good work" and character growth, which built a global educator community of practice. He has also been involved with the development of the DESE Civics Pathways, a set of civics-focused professional learning opportunities for Massachusetts public school educators.
Danny previously co-created a short course focused on skills related to workplace transitions for mid-career employees in Singapore. He and colleagues also completed a major research study of the short- and long-term educational impacts of the United World Colleges and similar mission-driven international schools. Danny joined Project Zero in 2012. He holds an Ed.M. in Education Policy and Analysis from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. in History and International Relations from Boston University.
