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.

Students who perform poorly in mathematics early in school are at risk for continuing to struggle in mathematics throughout elementary school and beyond. Recent empirical studies of targeted interventions for students at-risk in mathematics indicate overall effectiveness at positively impacting student outcomes.

Project Summary The primary objective of Project Write: Examining English Learners’ Writing Proficiency is to examine the English writing development of English learners (ELs) and identify the writing skills that discriminate between typically developing ELs and those who are at risk for writing difficulties.

PAR (Promoting Algebra Readiness) is a Goal 2 Development and Innovation project focused on developing a print-based intervention that targets rational number concepts.

The purpose of Project HiFi is to develop a software prototype for assessing the reading fluency of students in grades 1 - 6. Such technology will provide scoring and tracking assessments, and the capacity to link data directly to a database, among other features.

Read Aloud is a Goal 3 Efficacy and Replication study designed to investigate the impact of a Tier 1 (whole group) Read Aloud curriculum and a Tier 2 (small group) booster intervention on the reading achievement of first grade students.

The purpose of this NCSER Systematic Replication in Special Education research project is to conduct an efficacy replication of ROOTS, a 50-lesson (Tier 2) kindergarten mathematics intervention in which key variables related to intervention delivery will be systematically varied across different school types (i.e., urban and rural) and student popu

ROOTS is a Goal 3 Efficacy and Replication study designed to test the impact of a small-group (Tier 2) kindergarten, mathematics intervention program under three different conditions that vary in instructional intensity.

Through a series of IES Research Grants, researchers created the MOCCA, an online diagnostic reading comprehension assessment for students in grades three to three and for college students who struggle reading.

The purpose of the Sentinel Schools Project is to provide systematic and detailed information on the functioning of formative assessment measures used in the DIBELS Data System across a variety of instructional contexts.
