By recognizing that all students have the potential for valuable contributions to our society, we aim to develop the cognitive, linguistic, and socio-emotional capacities of every child. In so doing, our work contributes to a pipeline for much-needed diversity of abilities in our workforce, which will, in turn, strengthen both the creativity and competitiveness of our corporate sector.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][nectar_highlighted_text color_type=”regular” highlight_color=”#8bb8e8″ style=”half_text”]

INTERDISCIPLINARY COLLABORATION
Towards these aims, we are developing an interdisciplinary network of neuroscientists, educators, psychologists, technology experts, pediatricians, librarians, literacy advocates, and other allied citizens who can apply their collective expertise to propelling full literacy both in schools in California as a model for the country and in schools and regions around the world where access to literacy is difficult or nonexistent.
RESEARCH & KNOWLEDGE
All of the Center’s efforts will be grounded in theoretical knowledge – particularly on the development of the reading brain circuit, its developemnt, and its challenges both in dyslexia and in inadequate support environments (from schools to neighborhoods and families.)
IMPLEMENTATION
To ensure that every child can become functionally literate in California, we will be working in collaboration with UC and CSU schools of education on pre-service and professional development. We will be working with local, county, state, and federal organizations on guidelines for the teaching of reading and for understanding the varied needs of neurodiverse learners, particularly children with dyslexia. Emphases on early screening and early differential intervention for children with varied reading challenges will be implemented through these university collaboratives and through local and state initiatives.

The UCLA Center for Critical Internet Inquiry (C2I2) reaches across disciplinary, professional and organizational spaces to promote the study of digital technologies as they intersect with people, communities, and institutions across many academic domains of inquiry. Our work explores interdisciplinary intersections of digital technologies and society, with the goal of creating fairness, justice, equity, and sustainability in relationship to our technological engagements.
We engage with scholars, activists, advocates, technologists, policy makers and members of the public at large who are interested in the ways in which digital technologies are shaping and transforming humanity by promoting initiatives that reflect a broad range of social and ethical concerns that require sustained, open and multi-party debate and exploration.
