This project will adapt, refine, and evaluate a multi-tiered instructional framework in three K-3 elementary schools with large English language learner (ELL) populations to address ways to improve understanding of their reading achievement and language development needs, improve delivery, and support the administrators and teachers who work with t

The purpose of this project is to evaluate the efficacy of KinderTEK, a fully developed, tablet-based math program for kindergarten students.

The purpose of this project is develop a preschool early language and literacy progress monitoring tool in Spanish, Progress Monitoring-Spanish-Individual Growth and Development Indicators (PM-S-IGDIs), to complement a progress monitoring tool in English (PM-IGDIs) that will be developed with funding from IES.

Project CIFOR (Collaboration Across Interdisciplinary Fields of Observational Research) is a 2-year Exploration project (Goal 1) funded by the Institute of Education Sciences (IES). The purpose of CIFOR is to build on and advance the observation work of four previously-conducted CTL projects.

The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy of a first-grade mathematics intervention called Fusion aimed at developing understanding of whole numbers for students at risk for mathematics learning disabilities.

Whole Number Foundations (The FUSION Project) is a Goal 2 Development and Innovation project focused on developing a 60-lesson, print-based (Tier 2) intervention in mathematics. The FUSION intervention is designed to teach whole number concepts to first grade students who are at risk for mathematics difficulties.

The postdoctoral training program supports and trains postdoctoral fellows with expertise in research design and implementation, applied content expertise, and methodology and data analysis. Each cohort of postdoctoral fellows is funded for two years and is immersed in CTL-managed research projects.
