To mark the start of an emerging partnership with Brazilian early childhood researchers, CYFS hosted Brazilian economist Ricardo Paes de Barros for an early childhood presentation Aug. 11 at the Nebraska Union.
In his address, “The status of early childhood development in Brazil and its progress over the past decade: Programs, outcomes and legislation,” Barros presented original research and discussed key topics, including:
UNL’s College of Education and Human Sciences, together with CYFS, has launched an interdisciplinary research initiative to improve education from preschool through higher education.
Led by Greg Welch, research associate professor, the Nebraska Bureau for Education Research, Evaluation and Policy will pursue evaluation and policy research opportunities in partnership with educational entities throughout the state, including the Nebraska Department of Education. The bureau will give special attention to accountability policies that promote improvement in education systems.
The best measure of impactful research is in its ripple effect—both in the field and in the next generation of researchers.
For sustained research excellence throughout her career, CYFS director Susan Sheridan has received the Senior Scientist in School Psychology Award from the American Psychological Association’s Division of School Psychology. She will be formally recognized at the APA Convention Aug. 8 in Toronto, Canada.
To mark the start of an emerging partnership between UNL and Brazilian early childhood researchers, the Nebraska Center for Research on Children, Youth, Families and Schools will host Ricardo Paes de Barros, a leading Brazilian economist, for a 10 a.m. presentation Aug. 11 at the Nebraska Union.
International data analysis, with its steep barrier to entry, remains uncharted territory for many researchers.
Leslie Hawley, research assistant professor with the Nebraska Center for Research on Children, Youth, Families and Schools, is applying this data to answer education policy questions—and she wants to help other researchers navigate its use.
The University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Center for Brain, Biology and Behavior, together with multidisciplinary partners, will host the 2015 Educational Neuroscience Conference at UNL’s Wick Alumni Center October 15-16.
Conference registration is now available.
CYFS faculty affiliate Georgia Jones, associate professor of nutrition and health sciences, is using mobile technology to connect students with supplemental course content—and she’s doing it all from a UNL food laboratory.
Jones is partnering with the Nebraska Center for Research on Children, Youth, Families and Schools to create a food science video series using a GoPro camera and an iPad.
Five years ago, CYFS hosted the Interdisciplinary Alliance for Partnerships Research (IAPR), a national working meeting, and facilitated a future course for family-school partnerships research.
The meeting’s ultimate goal hinged on a unique variable: identifying unexplored areas of research.
