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.
