Overall Research Project Description This project is run through the Children's Literacy and Speech Sound (CLaSS) Lab. It involves assessing children who are in kindergarten, first, or second grade on a battery of speech, language, and literacy measures. All children will be tested in the fall (roughly September - October) and Spring (April - June).

Research Tasks Scoring assessments, watching videos, coding, videos, uploading audio and video files, entering data. (Note that it is possible for UROP students to be involved in the actual data collection with children, however, that will be determined on a case by case basis). Note that all work will take place at the Warren Building (201 W. Bloxham Street), so it is recommended that UROP students have a car.

Skills that research assistant(s) may need: Required: Excellent communication skills. Prompt. Reliable. Eager to learn. Extremely organized. Must have access to Microsoft Teams on phone and computer. Must have strong skills with Excel, Word, and PowerPoint (the microsoft versions are required; the Apple/ iPad versions are not acceptable).

Mentoring Philosophy I am eager to meet undergraduate students and help them get involved in research. Research can sometimes be scary and intimidating, but I believe firmly in making it a human-centered experience. All of our work is related to understanding how humans learn and how we can support young children. As a result, I love thinking about the various ways that i can help support undergraduate students as they acquire new research skills. I am always happy to meet and answer questions.
