She started working in the education department of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in 1989.[8] She earned the 1997 Distinguished Teaching Award from UCLA.[8] At UCLA she helped create a computer learning club for elementary students and worked on the Migrant Student Leadership Institute for students from the migrant farm-working community.[5] Students from the Migrant Student Leadership Institute were more likely to apply to college and be accepted than a control group.[5] Gutiérrez also studied the effects of Proposition 227 in California in three different school districts after the law was passed in 1998.[9]

When President Barack Obama was transitioning to the White House, she was part of the transition team.[5] In 2012, Obama appointed her to the board of directors of the National Board for Education Sciences.[10]

In 2014 Gutiérrez was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award from AERA.[12] The Same year, she was honored with the Henry T. Trueba Award for Research Leading to the Transformation of the Social Contexts of Education.[12]

She has been published in Educational Researcher,[13] Mind, Culture, and Activity,[14] Harvard Educational Review,[15] Reading Research Quarterly,[16] Theory Into Practice,[17] Linguistics and Education,[18] Language Arts,[19] Review of Research in Education,[20] Research in the Teaching of English,[21] the Journal of Teacher Education,[22] and other publications.
