LRNG Innovation Challenge
NEA Research Grant
To support a meta-analysis on the effects of drama-based pedagogies on literacy-related student outcomes. The study focuses on empirical research literature published from 1985 through the present. Literacy-related outcome areas of interest include achievement (writing and reading), and psychological, social, and behavioral student outcomes in educational settings. The meta-analysis will include published and non-published, and experimental and quasi-experimental, studies involving school-aged children, adolescents, and college students.
To support work that focuses on making visible what we know and what we don’t know about active and dramatic approaches for digital storytelling. We bring together people with an expertise in active and dramatic approaches, multicultural literacy, digital storytelling, summer institute planning, and writing development with young people
