Getting Smarter Together
As part of the University of Pittsburgh’s Learning Research and Development Center, we are at the forefront of transforming education by integrating cutting-edge research with real-world classroom practice. We forge strong partnerships with districts and schools that empower K-12 educators in English Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics to elevate instruction. We work hand-in-hand with passionate teachers and visionary leaders to implement research-backed, high-impact strategies that enhance student learning and foster collaboration in every classroom. This approach not only improves academic performance but also promotes sustainable and equitable education for all students. Together, we’re creating a brighter future where every child has the opportunity to thrive!

Principles of Learning
The foundation of the work that we do at IFL are the Principles of Learning. They are built on the idea that intelligence is incremental—that students of all ages can become smarter when they are supported to think hard and solve high-level problems.
