Parents

 

Welcome!

 

At the Learning Lab, we are interested in the way kids think, learn, and grow.  We partner with teachers, parents, and community members to understand how learning happens at school, at home, and in every-day interactions.

One of our big goals is to identify the best ways to teach kids how to think creatively about math and science and how to approach problems like experts.  We have developed and are testing research-based 5th and 6th grade math lessons that are meant to help kids make connections and improve their understanding of math concepts.

Our other projects explore international education practices, how children learn to make comparisons, and the effects of pre-testing on long term learning.

We look forward to working with you and welcome your feedback and questions!
