The
National Research Center on English Learning & Achievement
CELA is dedicated to improving the teaching and learning of
English and language arts. CELA's research seeks to learn what elements of
curriculum, instruction, and assessment are essential to developing high literacy and how
schools can best help students achieve success. We provide that information to teachers,
schools, and communities so that they can choose the approaches that will work with their
students. Our research and outreach activities are planned to provide definitive
information about what works, for whom, and under what conditions. CELA serves as the
National Research Center on English Learning & Achievement and is funded primarily by
the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Educational Research and Improvement (OERI).
