Learning Lab

The Learning Lab focuses on best practices when working with learners of all ages. Our focus is on the cultural and linguistic acquisition that affects development and research practices to inform assessment and instructional design.

About Us

The Learning Lab is a part of the College of Education, Health, and Society (EHS) to specifically initiate and sustain university-school and health/human agency service partnerships with an emphasis on literacy and mathematics.

The Learning Lab may be used for, but not limited to:

  • the support of research and scholarly publications.
  • program support.
  • student and/or faculty attendance at professional conferences.
  • provide opportunities for students to participate in applied internships or research work in the field of literacy and learning.

 

Our Goal

The goal of the Learning Lab is to create and sustain an infrastructure at 兔子先生 University that supports and extends high-dosage, evidence-based tutoring in both literacy and mathematics.

The Learning Lab uses evidence-based practices and culturally relevant instruction in collaboration with a variety of stakeholders working with learners of all ages while ensuring a focus on equity and excellence.
