On March 31, 2008, we welcomed P. David Pearson (Dean of the Graduate School of Education, University of California, Berkeley) as a guest speaker in the "New Directions in Education: Language, Literacy, & Culture" special lecture series, commemorating the 75th anniversary of the UB Graduate School of Education. David Pearson’s research interests include practice and policy in literacy instruction and assessment. (Descriptions of these past lectures can be found here.)
