WELCOME FROM THE DIRECTOR

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Institute of Education Sciences’ 2006 Research Conference.

The Education Sciences Reform Act of 2002 established a new organization within the U.S. Department of Education, the Institute of Education Sciences. The Institute funds hundreds of research projects that aim to enhance academic achievement and gain fundamental understanding of learning and instruction, conducts large-scale evaluations of federal education programs, and reports a wide array of statistics on the condition of education.

After a necessary building period we are now beginning to see the fruits of our investments in research. The time is right to provide a forum for dialogue and exchange among the researchers we support through our fi rst national research conference.

This event showcases the education research activities that are supported by the Institute. Here, you have an opportunity to meet and interact with fellow IES-supported researchers, and to hear from prominent practitioners and policymakers.

Building a community of education researchers committed to rigorous and relevant research has been at the core of the IES agenda. This conference recognizes and celebrates the emergence and productivity of that community.

Thank you for your work and your attendance. My colleagues and I at IES look forward to an exciting two days.

Grover J. (Russ) Whitehurst Washington D.C., June 2006

Janet Metcalfe

Janet Metcalfe is a Professor in the Department of Psychology at Columbia University. Dr. Metcalfe’s general area of research is metacognition, evolution of self-refl ective consciousness, study time allocation, and judgments of learning. Her current research centers on how people know what they know; that is, their metacognitive abilities, and whether they use this evolutionarily unique ability effi caciously--for effective self-control. Dr. Metcalfe has been studying people’s abilities to make judgments of their own learning and investigating what it is that people choose to study. Part of that research is directed at enhancing the study skills of at-risk middle school children. She conducts a cognitively and metacognitively guided study enhancement program at an at-risk school in the Bronx.

Frederick J. Morrison

Frederick Morrison is a Professor in the School of Education and the Department of Psychology (and Developmental Area Chair) at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Dr. Morrison’s research focuses on the nature and sources of literacy acquisition in children during the transition to school, and he has uncovered surprisingly large individual differences among children in important cognitive, language and social skills even before they begin school. His current work examines the impact of child, family and schooling factors in shaping children’s growth and in contributing to early problems in school. In one series of studies, Dr. Morrison is examining the impact of schooling by using a “natural experiment” (school cutoff ) in which children who just make versus miss the cutoff for school entry are compared on growth of a variety of skills considered important for school success. In another project, he is a co-investigator on the NICHD Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development. This national study has been following over 1,000 children since birth in 10 different sites around the nation, focusing on the relationship between different contexts (family, childcare, school) and children’s psychological growth. He received his Ph.D. from Harvard University.
