LLRI engages in a variety of research projects, all motivated by
problems of education. Some of our projects are funded by foundations
and government agencies (e.g., we currently have grants from the U.S.
Department of Education Institute for Education Sciences and from the
National Science Foundation). Other projects are internally funded and
are designed to inform the development and improvement of LessonLab's
programs for teacher learning and school improvement. All projects are
designed and conducted by LessonLab's research scientists, in
collaboration with researchers around the globe. LLRI is the hub of a
growing network of independent researchers doing research on the
improvement of teaching and learning in classrooms: the LessonLab
Research Network.

LEARNING TEAMS RESEARCH

Investigations of teacher learning teams have been carried out by successive teams of researchers and practitioners over several decades. Based on these findings, Achievement Solutions at Pearson is providing a learning teams program for schools, districts, and states.
