Education researchers from the flagship universities of Wisconsin and Minnesota win funding from the U.S. Department of Education to advance evidence-based improvements in the academc achievement of elementary and secondary school students in both states.
From rural schools to the community-school model to the school experience of Wisconsin’s Native American youth, WCER researchers lent their expertise to a recent public hearing on the way education affects health outcomes.
With a $1.5 million NSF grant, the Center for Research on College-to-Workforce Transitions is examining what the internship experience is like for students at six HBCUs. “We want to know how these internships impact future wages, employment status and their confidence to succeed in chosen professions,” says Matt Hora, CCWT director.
The WIDA International School Consortium, unofficially launched in 2008, has helped pioneer the improvement of teaching and learning for multilingualism around the world, from New Jersey to New Delhi. Using its signature "can-do" approach to learning, it has grown into a worldwide ELL network of more than 400 accredited preK-12 international schools in more than 100 countries.
Helping sixth graders see their concerns about measuring up in middle school as normal and temporary can boost grades and attendance, while reducing behavioral problems, a new study by WCER researcher Geoffrey D. Borman shows. The brief, low-cost intervention, done early in the school year, also scales up easily for use by an entire school district.
