PSPI Live: Persistence and Fade-Out of Educational Intervention Effects
Wednesday, October 12, 4:00 - 5:00 PM ET / 8:00 - 9:00 PM UTC
Educational interventions can have long-lasting effects and alter a person’s life trajectory, but their effects are frequently short-lived. In this webinar, researchers who have explored this phenomenon will shed light on the factors that influence and contribute to the durability of an educational intervention. Their findings, explored in Psychological Science in the Public Interest, can improve theories of human development and help to create meaningful interventions, with implications for practice and policy.
Hear from two authors of the study, Drew H. Bailey (University of California, Irvine) and David S. Yeager (University of Texas, Austin), along with Mark Schneider, director of the Institute of Education Sciences.
A special Q&A opportunity for audience members will follow.
- Drew H. Bailey, University of California, Irvine, and coauthor of “Persistence and Fade-Out of Educational Intervention Effects: Mechanisms and Potential Solutions
- David S. Yeager, University of Texas at Austin and coauthor of “Persistence and Fade-Out of Educational Intervention Effects: Mechanisms and Potential Solutions
- Mark Schneider, director of the Institute of Education Sciences
