Researchers have an international impact on issues related to literacy development and are highly productive in research, publishing, and obtaining external funding. As such, we have a longstanding commitment to the shared values of equitable opportunities, excellence, innovation, empowerment, community-focus, and endeavors to bridge research and practice. We value working collaboratively with educators, families, communities, policymakers, and funders as we implement practices with fidelity and collect valid and reliable data. Operating with clear lines of communication that promote a culture of transparency facilitates our commitment to disseminating accurate information in a way that promotes positive change.
