He is also a research professor at Teachers College.<\/p>\n<p>From 2013 to 2018, Dr. Brock was the commissioner of the National Center for Education Research at the Institute of Education Sciences (IES), where he spearheaded a comprehensive research program around improving educational outcomes for students of all ages while focusing more of the center\u2019s work on postsecondary research. He also planned and launched several national research centers and networks dedicated to topics such as college completion, developmental education, and career and technical education. In January 2017, former Education Secretary John King delegated to Dr. Brock the duties of director of IES. He served in the role for more than a year, overseeing IES\u2019s centers on research, evaluation, and statistics and the release of several major reports, including the National Assessment of Education Progress.
