In July 2025, LEARN scholars from Ghana came together in Accra for their first annual methods workshop—five days of hands-on training focused on measure development and psychometric analysis.  By investing in these skills, LEARN scholars are building the capacity to advance research on learning variability.

in June 2025, TIES co-hosted the LEARN Summer Methods Workshop with our partners, Universidad de Los Andes, bringing together early-career scholars and professors from across Colombia for five days of immersive training in psychometrics and measurement development.

A meaningful gathering in Germany, where LEARN and LEVANTE scholars came together to exchange ideas, build connections, and advance research on learning variability—how children grow and learn across time, groups, and contexts.

With support from the Jacobs Foundation, LEARN program—led by NYU, Universidad de los Andes, and the University of Cape Coast—empowers early-career scholars to shape research that reflects their local realities and drives more equitable, context-informed approaches to supporting children’s learning.

Moments like these remind us that global progress begins with meaningful relationships!
