Center for Urban Youth & Technology (CUYT)
The Center for Urban Youth and Technology (CUYT) is dedicated to implementing technology-based programs designed to work with urban youth. CUYT is concerned with the following questions. How do we begin to bridge the technology gap in this country, specifically in the inner city area? How do we provide services and training to the economically disadvantaged who may not otherwise get this opportunity? How do we expose this population to the new technologies? CUYT focuses on students in the ages of 12-19; those who are beginning to make decisions concerning career options and higher education. Many of these students would not ordinarily have been exposed to current applications of the new technologies. CUYT is concerned about the larger community in urban centers and also focuses on the needs of teachers in urban schools and parents.

Center on English Learning & Achievement (CELA)
Since 1987, the National Research Center on English
Learning & Achievement (CELA) has been funded
by the U.S. Department of Education's Institute
of Educational Sciences (formerly the Office of
Educational Research and Improvement) to conduct
research dedicated to gaining knowledge to improve
students' English and literacy achievement. The
Center’s research and development activities,
conducted in schools across America, seek to learn
what elements of curriculum, instruction, and assessment
are essential to developing high literacy and how
schools can best help students achieve success.
CELA provides that information (through print and
online resources) to teachers, schools, and communities
so that they can choose the approaches that will
work with their students. Studies are planned to
provide definitive information about what works,
for whom, and under what conditions.
