Research Center on Inclusive
and Effective Educational Practices
The Research Center on Inclusive and Effective Educational Practices
(RCIEP) works to expand externally funded research of faculty in the Department
of Special Education and Counselor Education in the Graduate School of
Education. The RCIEP is one of several projects funded, initially, by
the Portland State University Office of Research and Sponsored Projects
to expand externally funded research in departments with strong external
funding records and potential for research expansion.
Goals of the RCIEP:
- Support Special Education faculty in the development and implementation
of research that significantly impacts the quality and effectiveness
of intervention and instruction provided to children and youth with
a variety of challenges, their families, and the schools and agencies
that serve them.
- Serve as a catalyst to the involvement of Special Education faculty
in the expansion of externally funded research by providing administrative
and support services and by funding release time for proposal development
- Develop the following research strands, focusing on inclusion, effective
intervention/instruction for individuals with special needs, and supports
for families and service providers:
- Autism
- Low incidence and severe disabilities
- Early intervention and early childhood special education
- Self-determination, inclusion, and interdisciplinary collaboration
- Literacy
- Positive behavioral supports
- Transitions (from early childhood to adult life)
- Involve interdisciplinary, interagency, and inter-institutional partners
in each research strand
