Dr. Laura B. LangAssociate Professor Laura Hassler Lang’s research examines variables related to improved
learning and performance in K-12 schools, with an emphasis on instructional
leadership, professional development, data-driven decision making and
interventions related to reading, science and mathematics. She is the principal
investigator on a number of state and federally funded research projects,
including an Office of Naval Research project examining application of the
expert-performance approach to the development of training based on deliberate
practice and deep learning (2006-2008) and a project funded by the Institute for
Education Sciences, the Multi-University Reading, Mathematics and Science
Initiative (MURMSI) (2003-2008). MURMSI provided support for the implementation
of two randomized field trials examining the relative effects of
technology-based interventions on student performance. Dr. Lang is a
co-principal investigator for the new state-funded Florida Center for Research
in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics and the PROMiSE MSP grant
designed to support teachers and principals in the adoption of the new Florida
standards in mathematics and science. Working with faculty in the Florida Center
for Reading Research, she was the principal investigator on a recently completed
three-year project that included a randomized field trial examining the relative
effects of reading interventions for ninth grade students and also Dr. Lang
teaches a number of masters and doctoral courses in the Department of
Educational Leadership and Policy Studies at Florida State University, and a
co-investigator on a pre-doctoral interdisciplinary research training project in
