Michael F. Hull

Michael F. Hull serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Education Leadership, Foundations & Policy at the University of Virginia School of Education and Human Development, where he contributes to doctoral, master's, and undergraduate programs including Research, Statistics & Evaluation (Ph.D.), Quantitative Analytics in Education (M.Ed.), and Youth & Social Innovation (B.S.Ed.).

His research centers on school mental health systems and educational policy implementation, with specific expertise in school counselor preparation models and the academic consequences of disciplinary practices like in-school suspension. Hull employs quantitative methodologies to analyze national datasets and inform evidence-based interventions in K-12 settings, addressing critical gaps in mental health service delivery and equitable discipline policies.

His publication record demonstrates consistent focus on how school-based mental health infrastructure and disciplinary policies impact student outcomes, with recent work examining national trends in counselor consultation practices and longitudinal effects of suspension on academic trajectories. This research trajectory positions him at the intersection of educational psychology, policy analysis, and quantitative methodology.
