National Literacy Collaborative Research Studies

In addition to the studies carried out at Lesley University, the national Literacy Collaborative research staff is in the process of developing a portfolio of summative studies that examine the effectiveness of the Literacy Collaborative model in terms of student outcomes.  These rigorous evaluation studies, mostly conducted by outside evaluators, will help us to meet the current evidence standards for educational research on program effectiveness. We currently have three evaluation studies underway. Click on the links below for a description of each study.

• Can Literacy Professional Development be Improved with Web-based Collaborative Learning Tools: A Randomized Field Trial
