Parents Promoting Early Learning Lab

The Parents Promoting Early Learning Lab is partnering with the Pittsburgh Public Schools, the Allegheny Intermediate Unit and Holy Family Institute to study how parents help their children learn and develop through everyday activities. Led by Elizabeth Votruba-Drzal, professor in the Dietrich School’s Department of Psychology and a Learning Research and Development Center senior scientist, the project informs programs and policies aimed at reducing income disparities in child achievement and behavior.
