Carol McDonald Connor
Carol McDonald Connor is a Professor of School of Education at UC Irvine. Dr. Connor’s work focuses on teaching and learning in preschool through fifth grade classrooms – with a particular emphasis on reading comprehension, executive functioning, and behavioral regulation development, especially for low-income children. Unique in her approach is the use of technology to establish exactly what types and doses of reading instruction are most effective for students with differing knowledge and skills. Dr. Connor has developed online assessment tools, coupled with specific instructional modules, that teachers can easily use to first assess each of their students’ current learning needs, plan instruction using a dynamic lesson planner, deliver the appropriate instructional modules, and then monitor their progress so that the entire process can be fine-turned to maximize each student’s learning experiences. Random-assignment trials of her reading methods have documented large achievement gains for low-income students.

Dr. Danielle S. McNamara
Dr. Danielle S. McNamara is a Professor of Department of Psychology, and the School of CIDSE at Arizona State University. Her academic background includes a Linguistics B.A. (1982), a Clinical Psychology M.S. (1989), and a Ph.D. in Cognitive Psychology (1992; UC-Boulder). The overarching theme of her research is to better understand cognitive processes involved in comprehension, writing, knowledge acquisition, and memory, and to apply that understanding to educational practice by developing and testing educational technologies. Two of her projects, The Writing Pal and iSTART, are computer assisted learning programs designed to advance students writing and reading comprehension. She has published over 200 papers and secured over 10 million in federal funding. Her work has been funded by the Institute of Education Sciences (IES), the National Science Foundation (NSF), the McDonnell Foundation, and the Gates Foundation.
