Andrew Brodsky is a Senior Associate at APA. His work focuses on using data and statistical models to understand how education programs evolve, how they are accessed by the public, and associated costs.  He developed the Preschool Matters cost simulation, which determined the unmet need for preschool services in Denver and helped provide support for a public ballot initiative.  The simulation also produced cost projections based on a variety of user-defined scenarios.  Andrew is currently developing a cost simulation for Smart Start Colorado in partnership with the Colorado Children's Campaign, which will provide a definitive picture of Colorado's early childhood system.  In his roles at APA and, previously, the Colorado Children's Campaign, Andrew has been involved in a range of financial analysis projects for clients including the Denver Scholarship Program, the New Commission on the Skills of the American Workforce, and Denver Public Schools.  He holds a BS degree from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and a PhD from the University of Colorado at Boulder in educational research methods and policy.
