75	Randall	Sylvestre	m	After completing his M.P.A. at Ohio State University, Carey moved to Indianapolis, where he became an education finance analyst for the state of Indiana, helping to develop a new formula for setting property taxes and distributing state financial aid that was designed to help low-income children. He later became a Senior Analyst for the Indiana Senate Finance Committee, where he wrote legislation and advised the Democratic caucus on matters of fiscal policy. In 1999 he became Indiana's Assistant State Budget Director for Education, a position in which he advised Governor Frank O'Bannon on K-12 and higher education policy issues. Carey moved to Washington, D.C. in 2001, and joined the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) as a policy analyst. His work at the CBPP focused on state poverty-based education funding programs. In 2003 Carey joined the Education Trust, where he served as Director of Policy Research and created the CollegeResults.org graduation rate website. In September 2005, Carey helped found Education Sector, an independent education think tank. At Education Sector he led the organization's policy team, and headed up policy development in K-12 and higher education. His research focused largely on higher education reform issues, including the college rankings systems, and efforts to improve college graduation rates. He wrote extensively on college affordability and accountability issues, and drew particularly wide attention for a Winter 2010 essay in the journal, Democracy, on the role of the American higher education lobby in elevating student costs and obstructing efforts to improve accountability and transparency. He also wrote an in-depth profile of education historian Diane Ravitch for The New Republic in 2011. In 2012 Carey became Director of New America's Education Policy Program, which focuses its research on improving outcomes for low-income learners and expanding public access to information. His recent research and writing has focused on the intersection of technology and higher education, including the prospects of digital badges in education, and Massive Open Online Courses.	Carey has a bachelor's degree in political science from Binghamton University in 1992, and a Masters in Public Administration from The Ohio State University in 1995. He lives with his wife and daughter in Arlington, VA.
