Research Assistant Opportunities
 
    The ORAL-J Project focuses on the assessment of oral reading in grades K-3 to identify students at-risk for reading failure and to provide information that gives teachers feedback on the learning trajectories of their students.  Currently, we are working with Santa Barbara School District, and several others are in process of adding the ORAL-J to their assessment battery.

     Undergraduate research assistants are an integral component of the ORAL-J Project. Research assistants primary responsibilities include gathering, managing, and analyzing data, reviewing relevant literature, working with research technology.  In addition, assistants gain an understanding of the research process.  Research assistants work closely with graduate students and Professor Jimerson.  We are committed to providing a foundation necessary for students who may be interested in continuing as an educational professional or attend graduate school.  In addition, you may enroll in ED199RA (upper division elective credits) to document your participation.
