Research

The University of Cincinnati’s School of Education supports research and teamwork to improve teaching and learning. The Children’s Literacy Lab studies how children learn to read and write, and the Mathematics Education Collaborative works to improve how math is taught. Together, they help teachers use research-based strategies to support student learning.

The Scientific Research in Children’s Literacy Lab (SRCL) at the University of Cincinnati focuses on understanding and improving children’s language, reading, and writing development through research and teaching.

SRCL studies how children develop literacy skills and works to design and test effective instructional practices and assessments that support early learning.

The lab partners with schools, families, and educators to:

• Conduct literacy research in real learning environments

• Develop evidence-based teaching strategies

• Support teacher learning and professional development

• Train students in educational research

By connecting research with classroom practice, SRCL helps improve literacy outcomes for children and supports educators with practical, research-based tools.
