Basic Skills Research Project

The Basic Skills Research Project, a joint effort of the University of California, Berkeley Graduate School of Education and the RP Group, offers an analysis of how to transform basic skills instruction as observed at 20 California Community Colleges. Through a series of working papers, we described issues such as pedagogy and successful models, including looking at specific techniques such as Reading Apprenticeship and the National Writing Project.
