Research
As part of the RTSP effort to develop a systemic effort with Orange County Schools, six School of Education faculty have been awarded seed grants for a series of research initiatives. These initiatives represent a collaborative effort to improve the schooling experience for children and youth within Orange County.
These projects are also linked to School of Education professional development programs, contain a strong research focus providing research opportunities for students and faculty, and reflect cooperative agenda setting between designated school(s) and faculty.
