Accessible Research

We know that the evaluation of new programs and policies has the potential to inform the future of education and improve student achievement. Our projects begin by examining pressing questions in education and culminate in building a community of stakeholders and a collection of tools and resources to move research into practice.

The READS Lab Model of Reading Engagement (MORE)

The READS Lab addresses questions relevant to stakeholders in education, government, and philanthropy; broadly disseminates published studies in high-quality and high-impact journals; and embraces open science practices to make tools, data, and findings replicable and useful for other researchers. Their flagship program, the Model of Reading Engagement, answers the question: How can students learn to independently read and understand new ideas? (The short answer: schemas!).
