Sandra Basile

“As a longtime advocate for equality, equity and social justice in academia, I believe data collection should be at the forefront of all aspects of education to inform teaching, instruction, assessment, policy and the educational system as a whole. Data shows hard evidence of what aspects of education are successful and where change is necessary.”

A LIFELONG LEARNER

In 2011, Sandra earned a Bachelors Degree in Psychology and Italian at Rutgers University, focusing her studies on human development, learning and teaching. With a passion for educating, she earned a dual Masters Degree in Curriculum and Instruction in Early Childhood Education and Early Childhood Special Education from Columbia University in 2014. In 2026, she earned a Masters degree in Library and Information Studies from the University of Wisconsin at Madison with an emphasis on youth studies, librarianship and school media. She currently holds two active teaching licenses in Wisconsin for Early Childhood Education and Early Childhood Special Education.
