Overview of Some Current Projects:
As described on the ERPAS homepage, the underlying purpose of ERPAS projects is to enhance equitable opportunities for individuals and communities to thrive. Because this is a broad aim, each project addresses more specific goals and research questions. Below are examples of current projects involving ERPAS team members, spanning education, psychology, and interdisciplinary collaboration.
We continue to implement and evaluate programs we have developed to support students, families, and professional educators. In most years, we have multiple projects focused on implementing or evaluating these programs.
With doctoral student leadership, we are examining ways to enhance motivation and engagement in an evidence-based behavioral health intervention. In a separate study, we are exploring new approaches for supporting adults who have not yet developed foundational literacy skills.
We are collaborating with a large interdisciplinary team to build and refine a gamified digital mental and behavioral health platform designed to strengthen motivational mechanisms that contribute to effective treatment for anxiety and depression.
Building on more than 20 years of community-engaged research and scholarship (CES), Dr. Begeny is leading the development of a new interdisciplinary university Center devoted to advancing CES. The Center will officially launch in fall 2027 and will create new opportunities to strengthen and expand community-engaged scholarship among our team and for researchers in other disciplines.
Through our continued work on internationalization within school and educational psychology, we are collecting data, examining the field through critical frameworks, and developing both empirical and conceptual scholarship. For a general overview of internationalization and resources for those interested in the topic, click here.
We continue to partner with schools, school districts, and education-focused nonprofit organizations to provide intervention services that support student learning. As part of these partnerships, we also collaborate with organizations to conduct rigorous program evaluations.
Ongoing Work:
We have an active team with many projects that take place each year. One ongoing activity related to our work is writing and publishing scholarly articles that document our projects, as well as presenting results of our work to a range of different audiences.
