Improvement Science

In Improvement Science, researchers explore how improvements in educational instruction can promote equity and both student and teacher learning. Specific areas of study include informal learning experiences (see Crowley), how mindfulness and motivation shape positive development (see Galla), and the development of the automated writing evaluation system eRevise (see Matsumura).

Additional topics include improvement science for education reform (see Schunn), professional learning for teachers and school leaders (see Petrosky), and how policy and educational reform initiatives can improve student learning (see Correnti).
