Making an Impact with Our Research Centers
Center for Excellence in Literacy Instruction
The Center for Excellence in Literacy Instruction prepares reading and literacy teachers to teach all children, especially those in Mississippi who are in low socioeconomic-status districts.
Graduate Center for the Study of Early Learning
Our team of researchers and pre-K specialists provide collaborative leadership and research-based information concerning child development, education, policy decisions, and more for stakeholders in early childhood education across Mississippi and beyond. We believe that all children have the right to learn and grow in an environment that supports a natural ability to explore, create and wonder.

The community aims to provide support for local education agencies (LEAs) and institutions of higher education (IHEs) in their utilization of continuous improvement methodologies to foster the growth of leaders and educators. Additionally, the community is focused on addressing persistent issues that confront districts, schools, and their respective communities. The community facilitates discussions surrounding common dilemmas, shares successful strategies, and engages in role-alike conversations, improvement reviews, and collective problem-solving and planning through the application of improvement science.
