Behavioral Research and Teaching
The projects at BRT concentrate on access to learning so that appropriate and accurate information can be collected from all students to improve decision-making. We focus on developing information systems with three primary goals:- Improve basic skills assessments so that all students can read, write, and compute.
- Enhance learning of middle and secondary content subject matter so that all students have the opportunity to develop a broad knowledge base.
- Provide accessibility to large-scale testing so that all students can demonstrate their proficiencies on state and local achievement standards.
