In this study, the researchers will examine the effect of a teacher professional development program in literacy called Language Essentials for Teachers of Reading and Spelling (LETRS). LETRS is a fully developed, commercially available, and widely used professional development program to support literacy (language, reading, writing) outcomes. Despite its wide use, causal evidence of its impact on teacher knowledge and practice and student literacy outcomes is limited. The researchers aim to examine the effects of LETRS on teacher knowledge, teacher instructional practice, and student literacy outcomes. They will implement LETRS under real-world conditions within authentic educational contexts and with the intended end users.
We at OSU will be investigating Heart Rate Variability change as a result of participants practice of Lectio Divina meditation.
