Sharon Wolf, PhD
Associate Professor

 

I am an Associate Professor at the University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education. I work at the intersection of child development, education, and social policy.  

​

I study how children's early educational experiences affect their learning and development, and how policies and programs can improve these experiences, particularly for underserved children.

 

I focus on two primary areas related to child development: family poverty, and educational experiences and school-based interventions. Both areas incorporate applied research by using social interventions to promote children's well-being.
