Partnership for Literacy CELA is
seeking middle school partners for an implementation study that will put into place in a
variety of school settings the plans, programs, and processes that earlier research has
shown to be effective in boosting students' literacy achievement. |

Technology Integration Building on previous research
on technology and literacy, a new technology implementation
study will examine how English language arts teachers can most effectively use computer
software to enhance literacy learning in their classrooms. |


Features of Exemplary Middle and High School Instruction This
research, identifying the features of classrooms in which students "beat the
odds" to literacy achievement beyond that achieved by peers in comparable schools and
districts, focuses on curriculum, instruction and teachers' professional lives. Resources
include a guidelines booklet for middle and high school literacy
instruction. |



Teacher Education and Professional Development This
research is examining teacher preparation programs to identify features that enable new
teachers to effectively use what they have learned. The research team also studies the
role of experienced teachers and their influence on new teachers. Resources include a new report
on how beginning teachers use their teacher preparation courses. |
