Work closely with faculty members to develop your research skills in the areas of language and literacy development, and apply that research to improve literacy instruction in pre-K–12 schools.
You will work closely with our doctoral faculty to develop your own research interests and create a research proposal. Our faculty members specialize in a broad range of areas related to language and literacy development. Faculty interests include, but are not limited to:
At NYU Steinhardt, you will have access to a world-class facility for conducting educational research. In addition to working with faculty in Literacy Education, you will learn from faculty across NYU who are engaged with investigating language and literacy from various disciplinary perspectives, from developmental psychology and technology-enhanced education to educational linguistics and policy analysis. You will interact with a close community of fellow student researchers and receive close mentoring from faculty as you pursue educational research in the heart of New York City, one of the most diverse and cosmopolitan cities in the world.
You'll be prepared to work as a literacy researcher and teacher educator in colleges and universities. You'll also have the skills to take on leading roles in education, research, and policy, nationally as well as globally.
