Universities and the Scientific Community The Plaza Academy began as a seed research site at the University of Kansas's Institute for Research in Learning Disabilities. Under the auspices of a federally funded research grant we developed a number of learning strategies that would teach teenagers to manage their own academic behaviors rather than rely on external management systems mediated by others.
Other components of our research at The Center for Research on Learning are incorporated in numerous additional learning strategies which have become permanent curriculum components in public special education curricula across the nation. Our staff continues to present our work at local and national scientific conferences. The Plaza Academy has been a supervision site for the University of Missouri at Kansas City, The University of Kansas, Avila College, as well as Webster and Park Universities. We have provided practicum experience, internships, research assistantships, as well as thesis and dissertation research sites for undergraduate and graduate students for thirty years. |
