We begin by asking such key questions as: How do students learn to conceptualize math and science? How do they develop language skills, and how are these affected by cultural differences? How does public policy affect the administration of schools? How can we best integrate special-needs children into the classroom?
Peabody students are exposed to this work every day, and have the opportunity to join leading researchers, including:
Rich Lehrer and Leona Schauble
They design learning environments that foster model-based reasoning about mathematics and science.
Mark Berends
He researches the effects of charter and magnet schools on student achievement growth. He directs the first federally funded national research center on school choice at Peabody/Vanderbilt.
Bruce Compas
He studies the psychological impact of cancer on patients and families, and conducts holistic research into the treatment of cancer patients and their families.
