Faculty Research
Since 1918, the Boston University Wheelock College of Education & Human Development has maintained a dual commitment to preparing highly qualified educators and advancing research and scholarship. Our faculty research is focused in three key areas: teaching & learning, applied human development, and language & literacy.
Applied Human Development Research in Applied Human Development at the Wheelock College of Education & Human Development looks at the factors shaping the development of both educators and their students. Our faculty are leading impactful investigations, such as how to measure effective teaching for students with disabilities, how to improve school capacity to implement quality health programs and activities, and how pre-service teachers’ conceptions of equity affect the teaching and learning of mathematics.
